RTDS Simulation of Solar Energy in a Small Power System
RTDS Simulation of Solar Energy in a Small Power System
The goal of our project is to implement a scheme to integrate solar energy into a power distribution system. To do this, we will link a real-time automation controller into a simulation of a power grid running on a real time simulator. This is a valuable technique for commissioning equipment in the power industry, as it allows engineers to test and refine control programs under various conditions prior to their physical installation. This greatly decreases the chances of misoperation.
