Simulate Renewable Energy Systems from Months to Microseconds
Overview
In this webinar, we will show how Simscape can be used to develop renewable energy systems and how we can map computational tools to different stages of a technology development cycle. Through examples of a Type 4 wind turbine and a photovoltaic (PV) power system, we will show how to:
- Characterize renewable energy systems using look-up tables.
- Run quasi-steady simulations over months of system operation to gain insight on longer term energy production.
- Use ideal power converters to gain insight on functional response over a broad operational envelope.
- Use power converters with full switching to assess the impact of harmonics on system operation.
- Integrate different components into a system and develop management systems to achieve an overall operational objective.
- Design maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control systems for the wind turbine and PV system.
- Prepare a model for real-time simulation and/or deployment as a digital twin.
