Webinar | Digitalization and Advanced Applications: CEN'S Perspective on EMT Simulations | OPAL-RT Learning Journey

Electromagnetic Transient (EMT) models of grids are necessary to perform integration studies of large power electronics systems such as utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems, high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems, flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTs), and others. Traditionally, models of grids available to utilities have been transient stability (TS) models. Thus, it becomes important to identify methods of developing high-fidelity EMT models for portions of the grid. At the same time, simulating entire grids in EMT is very heavy on computing resources, and one minute’s worth of results could conceivably take hours of simulation if the right simulator architecture is not used. In this webinar, Jaime Peralta discusses the importance of EMT simulation to ensure the Chilean electric network performance, security and reliability.
