“…The 6th-order induction motor model is mathematically identical to the equivalent SimPowerSystems model [1] and a model described by Ong [2]. It offers a choice of transformations between 3-phase stator line voltages and 2-phase dq system voltages: (a) dq system not rotating, (b) dq system rotating at the motor synchronous rate, and (c) dq system rotating at the electrical rotation rate of the motor axis.…”

This paper presents work that uses fieldprogrammable gate arrays (FPGAs) to accelerate Simulink simulations of electrical machines on a desktop computer by more than 100 times. These simulations operate and can be modified transparently in the Simulink environment with no FPGA expertise required. This offers the prospect of low-cost, highperformance simulation workstations supporting large simulations that do not require excessive execution times. Additionally, the work includes multi-rate and limited non-linear capabilities.

“…Execution times can, however, be inconveniently long for more complex systems particularly when multiple runs are required. Previous research on using FPGAs in combination with PCs to achieve high-speed real-time simulation [1,2] prompted an effort to produce a more general, low-cost simulation system based on this work.…”

“…Because computational technologies have improved their performance, the capacity of the simulation tools for solving large and complex problems has also increased in a short time [3]. Additionally, the cost of digital simulators is decreasing constantly, making them available and accessible to a great number of users for many applications [4,5].…”

In recent times, real-time simulation has been used to validate the testing and design of protection, control, and communications systems prior to their commissioning in the field, which has improved the reliability and security of the commissioning processes for electrical systems. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art and future trends in protection, control, and communications testing of electrical grids using real-time simulation. In addition, a summary is presented in which all the works and technologies mentioned are listed with the purpose of identifying new challenges in the proposed topic. Finally, future trends related to the use of real-time simulation for evaluating protection, control, and communications schemes are presented. Real-time simulation is very useful due to the increasing complexity of modern electrical power systems, therefore, it is necessary to use this kind of tool to facilitate field testing, avoid unnecessary work, and reduce costs for clients.
