Real-Time Transient Stability Simulation of ENTSO-E Initial Dynamic Model of Continental Europe

RT Spotlight Zurich - ​In this presentation, an overview and implementation of the dynamic model of Continental Europe from ENTSO-E in RealTime simulator, where the main characteristics are summarized and discussed, are introduced. The ENTSO-E initial dynamic model is a comprehensive representation of interconnected Continental Europe. The complexity and precision of the system are evident, as indicated by the large volume of components involved. There are more than 1800 transmission lines spanned along with extended distances from up to 300km in Turkey to short connections of 0.1km in the Netherlands and connecting more than 23’000 nodes, 7’000 loads and 6’000 generators. The real-time simulation of such a massive power gird exploits four CPU cores of OP5600 on which the computations are dispatched in parallel. The experimental results verify the performance and scalability of the ENTSO-E system and the ePHASORSIM engine.
