METHOD AND MODEL FOR EVALUATING TRANSMISSION ULTRACAPACITORS IN POWER SYSTEMS

摘要

A method and model for evaluating transmission ultracapacitor response in a power system. The method includes the steps of implementing a transmission ultracapacitor model into power system simulation software, simulating a desired condition of a power system, and determining a desired output power of a transmission ultracapacitor to define a control setpoint. The method further includes the steps of determining the transmission ultracapacitor limit, such that the desired output power does not exceed the transmission ultracapacitor limit, responding to the condition by adjusting output according to the control setpoint, and using the output in conjunction with other elements in the power system to determine an overall system response.
