Effect of Size on Analog Circuit Based Emulation of Steady-State Power System Behavior

This paper further examines the use of analog circuit based emulation to study the behavior of multi-bus power systems, specifically the effect of power system size on the hardware design and performance. The goal is to demonstrate that these effects are minimal and analysis of large power systems through emulation methods is not only a viable but favorable alternative to popular simulation methods.

Circuit Theoretical Analysis of Reconfigurable Analog Load Emulation Circuit

This paper further analyzes the operation of a reconfigurable analog circuit designed to mimic the dynamic behavior of power system loads. The authors focus on the non-linear behavior of the circuit and its effect on its stability. This work is important to understanding the operation of the circuit under stressed conditions such as those that occurs during transient periods.

Utilization of FPAA technology for emulation of multi-scale power system dynamics in smart grids

Summary form only given. In this paper, the authors address computational issues associated with implementation of VLSI technologies - specifically, the utilization of field programmable analog array (FPAA) technology to analyze the steady-state as well dynamic behavior of nonlinear, multi-scale power systems. Emphasis is placed on the following issues: adaptation of FPAA hardware for power flow analyses, design and construction of physical prototype, optimal hardware scaling, and application of emulation to transient fault analyses.
