The short circuit ratio (SCR) of a given grid is able to show the stability of the system in the case of unwanted elements, such as wind turbulence. This paper presents the simulation of a model of the doubly fed induction generator in the simulation software PSCAD/EMTDC. This model has been used to study flicker during continuous operation and the effect of SCR and grid impedance angle on flicker emission. Simulation results show that compensation of the stator reactive power is an effective method to considerably reduce the flicker levels, irrespective of the grid conditions.

This paper describes the dynamic performance of a variable speed wind turbine system responding to a wide variety of wind variations. Modeling of the wind generation using power electronics interface is proposed for dynamic simulation analysis. Component models and equations are addressed and their incorporations into a transient analysis program, PSCAD/EMTDC are provided. A wind model of four components is described, which enables observing dynamic behaviors of the wind turbine resulting from wind variations. Controllable power inverter strategies are intended for capturing the maximum power under variable speed operation and maintaining reactive power generation at a pre-determined level for constant power factor control or voltage regulation control. The components and control schemes are modeled by user-defined functions. Simulation case studies provide variable speed wind generator dynamic performance for changes in wind speed

Recently high impedance fault(HIF), which includes arcing wave, has often occured in power system. Some papers related to arcing phenomena and its modeling have been published. However the proposed methods show much different form in compare with actual arc wave under HIF. It is not so available to use to analyze HIF because of such problem. This paper proposes the new arcing wave model, which is nearly similar to actual arcing wave, developed using PSCAD/EMTDC. The arcing waves obtained from arcing model that applied in actual. power system are compared with some actual arcing wave gained from the field test and show the availability to application of relay test.

This paper present an effective modeling scheme of SPE cell system for hydrogen production. As oxygen and hydrogen produced by water electrolysis using SPE are high purity, we can use oxygen in biomedical and hydrogen could be used in many ways. Recently, it is under the eye as a surplus power storage system. PSCAD/EMTDC model of SPE cell system for hydrogen production to efficiently utilize solar cell energy is showed in this paper. The simulated results are then verified by comparing them with the actual values obtained from the data acquisition system. Authors are sure that it is a useful method to the researchers who study SPE cell system for hydrogen production.

This paper describes development of PMSG wind power system model using wind turbine simulator and matrix converter. The wind turbine simulator, which consists of an induction motor with vector drive, calculates the output torque of a specific wind turbine using simulation software and sends the torque signal to the vector drive after scaling down the calculated value. The operational feasibility of interconnected PMSG system with matrix converter was verified by computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software. The simulation results confirm that matrix converter can be effectively applied for the PMSG system.

Development of DC interruption technology is being studied actively for enhanced DC grid reliability and stability. In this study, coil type superconductor DC circuit breaker was proposed as DC interruption. It is integration technology that combined current-limiting technique using superconductor and cut-off technique using mechanical DC circuit breaker. Superconductor was applied to the coil type. In simulation, Mayr arc model was applied to realize the arc characteristic in the mechanical DC circuit breaker. PSCAD/EMTDC had used to model and perform the simulation. To find out the protection range of coil type superconductor DCCB, the working operation have analyzed based on the rated voltage of DCCB. The results confirmed that, according to apply the limiting device, the protection range was increased in twice. Therefore, the probability of failure of interruption has lowered significantly.

HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) transmission system was constructed between Cheju island and mainland Haenam and has been operating commercially since 1998. But research activities in this area are not so much. That is caused by the facts that HVDC is large scale system and it is not so easy to implement and to test. Though such simulation tools as RTDS(Real Time Digital Simulator) and EMTDC can be useful, these have limitations for actual control and protective system design. Therefore scaled-down HVDC model was developed for the purpose of researches at operating technique, control and protection methods. The design of this model was based on real Cheju-Haenam HVDC system. And additionally faults simulator such as ground fault, short-circuit and change of impedance in transmission line is equipped for analysis of these faults. Control system of the model was implemented fully digitally. So it is very easy for the researchers to develope control and protection algorithm and to test the performance.
