Implementation of a dynamic grid training simulator

Abstract

In today's modern society, a secure and reliable supply of electrical energy is indispensable. That task, which is becoming more complex in the context of an increasing share of renewable energies in a liberalized energy market, is achieved by grid operation management in control centers. This paper presents a training concept, which provides the basic qualifications for grid operation management. Therefore, a grid model is implemented and fitted to the training requirements, using the grid description language GDL of the training simulator DUtrain PSH. The load flow of the grid model in PSH is verified. Deviations compared to offline simulation are observed in the contingency analysis. The developed simulator training will be used as part of the forthcoming lecture “Netzplanung und Netzführung II”. Here, the students gather practical experience concerning grid operation management by completing realistic training scenarios in a control center replica.
