Power Electronic Transient Load Model for Use in Stability Studies of Electric Power Grids

摘要

This paper develops a new large-signal transient load model to represent the composite power electronic load at a network bus. Traditional load models do not account for the transient responses of power electronic loads which occur at the onset and clearing of voltage sags. The new model is supported with actual utility fault response data and laboratory controlled tests. This paper shows that power electronic loads have a unique impact on generator rotor angle swings compared to those using conventional load models.
