Hydroelectric power plants are known for their ability to cover variations of the consumption in electrical power networks. In order to follow this changing demand, hydraulic machines are subject to off-design operation. In that case, the swirling flow lea ...

Numerical simulations of the transient operation of an islanded power network subject to load rejections are performed. The islanded power network case study consists of a 1-GW hydroelectric power plant featuring four generating units, a long penstock, and ...

At low flow rate operation, Francis turbines feature a cavitating vortex rope in the draft tube resulting from the swirling flow of the runner outlet. The unsteady pressure field related to the precession of the vortex rope induces plane wave propagating i ...

An analytical approach allowing modelling transient phenomena in pipes, valves, surge tanks and Francis turbines based on impedance method is developed. These models are implemented in a software called “SIMSEN”, which simulates the behaviour of complex applications in the domain of adjustable speed drives and electrical power networks. This program is based on a modular structure, which enables the numerical simulation of transient modes of systems exhibiting arbitrary topologies. The numerical simulation

This paper presents the modeling, simulation and analysis of the dynamic behavior of a fictitious 2times320 MW variable speed pump-turbine power plant including hydraulic system, electrical equipments, rotating inertias and control systems using the softwa ...

The Laboratory of Electrical Machines of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (Lausanne) has developed a software (TLSim) for the simulation of electrical urban transportation systems. This program can simulate the behaviour of the power supply network (current and voltage level at any point of the topology) comprising uni- and bi- directionnal sub-stations. In the network the vehicules (trolleybus) may run along any defined path through different electrical supply sectors. Several models of trolleybus

Models of hydraulic components based on impedance method have been implemented in a software called “SIMSEN”. This tool allows the simultaneous solution of the electrical, hydraulic, mechanic and control equations ensuring a proper interaction between the four parts of a system. In this paper the interaction between hydraulic and electric part of 2 Francis turbines power plant is investigated by comparing the simulation results obtained with and without coupling hydraulic and electric phenomena. Using hydra

For many years the EPFL Laboratory for Electrical Machines develops SIMSEN, a numerical software package for the simulation in transient and steady-state conditions of electrical power systems and adjustable speed drives, having an arbitrary topology. SIMS ...

Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) are systems based on power electronics using GTO or IGCT semiconductors [1] that allow a better use of the transfer capacities of the transmission lines and permit to satisfy the requirements due to the liberalization of the electrical energy market. The Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is one of the most versatile topologies of the FACTS family. The UPFC can be decomposed in two different power circuits: the parallel one maintaining the network bus voltage by co

This paper presents a real-time extension, called SIMSEN-RT, of the simulation software SIMSEN. SIMSEN-RT allows carrying out hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations of power systems using hardware regulators. It can therefore be used to fine-tune regulator ...

This paper deals with the modeling of multi-windings transformers. Based on a real example, a modeling methodology is presented. This methodology is the original part of the paper. Application examples of multi-windings phase shifting transformers (18 and ...

The paper deals with the main problems to solve in order to simulate precisely the behavior of complex power systems with mixed elements (power components and digital regulation devices). The main features of an efficient simulation tool are described. They are focused on modern adjustable speed drives. Finally, the simulation of an industrial application of an induction motor fed by a three-level inverter tuned with a DTC (Direct Torque Control) is presented in details.

The paper deals with the main problems to solve in order to simulate precisely the behavior of complex power systems with mixed elements (power components and digital regulation devices). A simulation tool developed at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology is shortly described. Finally, an industrial application of an induction motor fed by a three-level inverter tuned with a DTC (Direct Torque Control) is presented.

The present paper describes the modelling and the prediction of the steady-state or transient behaviour of different modern variable-speed drives and electrical networks. The necessity of a performant numerical simulation tool in order to guarantee an optimized design is illustrated by examples based on existing large variable- speed drives and power plants.

This paper deals with the modeling of multi-winding transformers. Based on the real example of a railway DC - supply, a modeling methodology is presented as the original part of the paper. Afterwards two application examples of multi-winding phase shifting transformers (18 and 24 pulse) are described, these applications have been simulated using the SIMSEN simulation software package [1,2]. Harmonics analysis of simulation results (elimination of low order harmonics 5, 7, 11, 13) has validated the proposed

The transient behavior of hydroelectric power plants is of high interest for ensuring stability of islanded electrical power networks. Therefore, it is suitable to determine and validate the set of parameters of a turbine speed governor using a realistic s ...

Islanded power networks comprising a small number of large power plants are subject to perturbations leading to important transients, and, hence need high performance governors. The design of these governors requires a detailed model of the system. This is ...
