O. Wasynczuk, E. A. Walters, PC Krause and Associates, Inc; H. J. Hegner, Naval Surface Warfare Center A new approach of automatically generating state-space models of power circuits and systems is presented. In this approach, the composite system state equations are established algorithmically given the standard node incidence matrix and elementary branch data (e.g. resistances, inductances, back emf’s). The resulting state equations can be solved using a variety of numerical techniques or commercially available computer simulation programs. An example system consisting of a three-phase generator and rectifier load is used to illustrate this approach. Experimental verification is also provided.

An Automated State Model Generation Algorithm for Simulation/Analysis of Power Systems with Power Electronic Components

S. D. Pekarek, E. A. Walters, T. L. Skvarenina, O. Wasynczuk, PC Krause and Associates, Inc. In this paper, a recently developed algorithmic method of deriving the state equations of power systems containing power electronic components is described. Therein the system is described by the pertinent branch parameters and the circuit topology; however, unlike circuit-based algorithms, the difference equations are not implemented at the branch level. Instead, the composite system state equations are established. A demonstration of the computer implementation of this algorithm to model a variable-speed, constant-frequency aircraft generation system is described. Because of the large number of states and complexity of the system, particular attention is placed on the development of a model structure which provides optimal simulation efficiency.
