RT15 Berkeley | Multi-Terminal Power Hardware-in-the-Loop Test-Bench for Power System Stability Analyses Focused on Distributed Generation - Fraunhofer
1 like1,324 views
The document discusses the development of a multi-terminal power hardware-in-the-loop test bench for power system stability analyses focused on distributed generation. Large increases in inverter-coupled generators like PV and wind are changing power networks, challenging assumptions of conventional stability assessment. The test bench aims to holistically simulate transmission and distribution networks to evaluate stability with more inverter-based generation. It will integrate real inverters using power hardware-in-the-loop simulations to verify their influence on stability at a higher level of detail than software models alone.
