Abstract:

Despite its AC-synchronicity requirement, the 20th-century power grid evolved into one of humanity’s most complex machines. Power system analysis tools that could model very large networks were developed and the grid became very reliable. Due to a number of socio-economic and environmental factors, the 21st-century power grid will be based on a different paradigm. Renewable distributed generation and power electronic interfaces are integrating non-dispatchable non-synchronous generation with the synchronous grid and offering new challenges and opportunities. Traditional operational concepts and simulation tools need to be revisited to achieve quality of power and resiliency in the new environment.

This presentation will discuss the work done in the EMTP group of the University of British Columbia in developing simulation tools for large complex networks with multiple time constants and different simulation needs. The group is a world leader in breaking complexity and achieving very fast solutions, including real time, using network partitioning strategies. These strategies are also being extended to system-of-system solutions for assessing the true socio-economic impact of system failures.

About the Presenter:

Dr. Jose R. Marti is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. He has over 25 years of professional experience and is world-recognized for his work in electromagnetic transients (EMTP) modelling and simulation, including his frequency dependent transmission line model, suppression of numerical oscillations (CDA), and real time simulation. Current interests include system-of-systems simulation, smart distribution systems, and the new generation of EMTP tools for the integration of the traditional grid with distributed renewable energy sources. Dr. Martí is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering and a registered Professional Engineer in the Province of British Columbia. He is the leader of UBC's Complex Systems Integration Laboratory for simulation of large integrated systems.
