IBR Short Circuit Modeling in ETAP
Mohammad Zadeh from ETAP presented various modeling improvements that included the following: • Address convergence issues by using complete Norton Equivalent model including the IBR series filter impedance. • Fault ride through identification within iterations while short circuit results have not been converged and how that may impact final SC results. • Options for FRT curve 1- using a timer to lock FRT logic vs a hysteresis in FRT curve to avoid unwanted toggling. • Report recent co-operation between software vendors (Aspen, CAPE and ETAP) for adopting a C++ interface for IBR blackbox SC modeling. There was lot of interest to know about the model improvements that are being considered.
