​This paper presents an iterative nodal solver for power switching devices implemented in Hydro-Québec’s real-time simulation software (Hypersim). Real-time results for the full converter (type-IV) wind generator model, connected to a network equivalent through transformers and a collector system, show faster than real-time execution for a task containing many dozens of nodes and elements. Moreover, due to numerous natural commutation switches (as diodes), the iteration method is required to obtain results without numerical instability. The performances together with the precision of the simulation results show the efficiency of the new algorithm.
