23 bus Network with offshore Wind farm

This model simulates a 500 kV transport network consisting of 45-distribution lines and supplies power to 17 loads of 120 MW and 30 MVar. The frequency is 60 Hz. There are seven 1000 MVA hydraulic generation turbine plants (synchronous machines and regulators) connected to the network and a wind farm was connected in the middle of the transport network. The wind farm consists of 10 wind turbines (double fed induction generator).

This transport network represented a typical electric network with loads, generation machines, electronic devices and distribution lines. It shows the capacity of eMEGAsim to simulate this type of network in real-time with good performance. This model is distributed into 6 CPU and the step size of each cpus are the following on a dual quad-core Intel machine running at 2.3 GHz: 58 us for the network (4 cpus), 120 us for controls (1cpu) and 35 us for the wind turbine (1 cpu).

eMEGAsim makes it possible to see the the effects of one fault on the network (A to ground, AB to ground, ABC to ground ) in the network and wind farm. It also makes it possible to see the loss of machines or lines and its consequences on the network and wind farm.
