Abstract:
As RTDS becomes a dominant real-time simulation platform being used within the industry to model and simulate HVDC systems, this presentation aims to show, how Simulink Real-Time Embedded Coder could be used to speed up the developing of efficient and high-fidelity user-defined components for RTDS platform such as HVDC converter models and control systems. To show the indisputable attributes of such approach in terms model development time and accuracy and ease of scalability, an illustrative example that implements a user-defined half-bridge MMC model will be presented, with its results will be validated against that of the offline and real-time half-bridge MMC in PSCAD and benchmark model ‘MMC5’ from RTDS library, with particular focus on the accuracy and simulation efficiency. Also, broader discussions of the attributes and potential limitations of such approach will be presented.
