Simulation of AC Electrical Machines Behaviour Using Discrete Event System Simulator

This paper deals with the adaptation of AC electrical machine models for discrete event system simulator. The formalism chosen is DEVS (Discrete Event system Specification) which has been adapted recently for hybrid system simulation. The software PowerDEVS is close to MATLAB/Simulink(C) but without any toolbox adapted to power systems. As always, the model which is basically based on system of nonlinear differential equations has to be integrated to compute the output variables corresponding to any deterministic or stochastic inputs. In this way, the integrator atomic model has been optimized to perform many simulations with realistic CPU time. Results obtained with PowerDEVS and optimized graphical model have been validated by the same simulations using MATLAB/Simulink(C) as found in the classical literature.
