Abstract:
This talk focuses on the potential use of Waveform Relaxation as an alternative to real-time simulation for hardware-in-the-loop testing. This involves system simulation, not necessarily done in real-time, and real-time playback of the simulated output to the controller under test. The time-stamped controller output is stored and subsequently fed as an input to the simulation. This whole process is done iteratively as in the Waveform Relaxation method, till the waveforms converge. This method can be used for testing multiple and dispersed controller hardware and the associated communication equipment, e.g., wide-area measurement based control and system protection schemes. It also has the potential to be an alternative to real-time simulators which are expensive when large systems have to be simulated.
Speaker Bio:
Anil Kulkarni is a Professor at the Electrical Engineering Department, IIT Bombay, India, and is currently at the University of Manitoba as a Visiting Professor. He obtained his BE degree in Electrical Engineering with Honours from the University of Roorkee, India and his ME and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering in 1994 and 1998 respectively, from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.
His broad areas of interest are in Power System Dynamics, HVDC and FACTS. Recently he has focused on SSR analysis, Dynamic Phasors and Wide Area Measurement Systems.
He has worked on industry projects including Power System Stabilizer Tuning in the Eastern and Western Grids of India, SSR analysis of multiple series connected lines in the Eastern Grid and TCSC controller design for the 400 kV Kanpur-Ballabhgarh series compensation project.
