Development of a DC electrification simulation tool to identify capacity limitations

E. Pilo

December 2008 - February 2009

Funding entity Fundación de los Ferrocarriles Españoles

The main purpose of this project is to develop a simulator for DC electrification, to allow an easy identification of capacity constraints due to the power supply system. This project includes both the specification and the development of this tool.

Research topics:
• *Stability: large disturbance stability, tuning of frequency loadshedding schemes, excitation control, small disturbance stability, tuning of power system stabilizers, identification of AVR and governor models
