User-Defined Dynamic Models

User-Defined Dynamic Models

Overview

The ETAP User-Defined Dynamic Models software can be used to build complex machine control diagrams via a graphical editor, customizable block libraries, and solvers for modeling and simulating dynamic systems.

Build control block diagrams needed to simulate the behavior of machines in Transient Stability and Generator Start-Up simulations. Combine with DPET to tune the control block parameters based on field measurements for grid code compliance such as NERC. The User-Defined Dynamic Models provide independent self-testing via load rejection, load acceptance, and terminal bus faults for validation of models and their dynamic behavior.

Users are able to create dynamic models without the need to buy additional MATLAB Simulink® software. The software consists of Graphical Logic Editor (GLE) that can build control transfer function block diagrams. The User-Defined Dynamic Models software also includes a detailed compiler with comprehensive initialization routines that utilizes control block diagrams to simulate dynamic responses to power system disturbances through the Transient Stability software.
