Abstract

At present, Real-time digital simulation of substation play an important role in analysing the characteristic of the substation, testing relay protection equipment, and building substation training simulation system. In order to create a high degree of similarity with the actual substation, this paper designs a FPGA-based real-time electromagnetic transient simulation of substation. A new substation simulation model is proposed to deal with nonlinear components based on the analysis of substation network structure. To take full advantage of FPGA parallelism and pipeline structure, a special arithmetic unit and decoding search method are shown. Simulation test shows that a simulation model of substation with more than 500 nodes could be processed in an EP4CGX150 chip within 40 s simulation timestep.
