BUILDING A COMBINED HARDWARE - SOFTWARE SIMULATOR FOR CALCULATIONS AND ANALYSIS OF THE POWER SYSTEM STEADY STATE

Abstract

Calculation and analysis of the power system steady state has a great significance fordesigning and operating the systems. This paper presents an applied method of a combinedhardware - software simulator, which proves to be a highly effective tool for calculating andanalysing the power system steady state. This method proves an increase of effect for calculationand analysis of the power system states. The combined hardware - software simulator with theability of fast calculation can easily be used to find the permissible operating area of the 500 kVline and to estimate the complicated power system stability margin. This methodology can beused to develop a complete simulator for the dispatching centers to improve the power systemoperation.
