Implementación de una plataforma de simulación digital para entrenamiento de operadores ante fenómenos dinámicos

Abstract

Smart Transmission Grid (STG) in the Smart Control Rooms provides an ideal Training Environment that improves realism, supporting operators to become familiar to the new technology.

CENACE and COT do not have such environments to support operators to adapt to the Smart Grids challenges, so there is no possibility for them to be familiarized with the dynamics of the phenomena that occurs in the real power system. Therefore, operators do not respond adequately to possible dynamic changes of the network in real-time.

The present work proposes a methodology for the implementation of a Real-Time Digital Simulation Platform to Train Operators in Dynamic Events (Dynamic Simulator). Thus, a reduced Ecuadorian network is modeled on Real-Time Digital Simulator (Opal RT's ePHASORsim). This model uses dynamic components developed in OpenModelica such as generators, excitation system, power system stabilizer, and governors. The static components of Ecuadorian network are modeled in PowerFactory DIgSILENT. Moreover, the Real Time Digital Simulator – WAMS (WAProtector) integration is developed through virtual PMUs.

Finally, a training protocol is defined. Protocol allows operator to use the tool (Dynamic Simulator), and to interpret the results of WAProtector’s applications. The Dynamic Simulator results are compared with PowerFactory DIgSILENT.
