Model Validation of Power System Components Using Hybrid Dynamic Simulation

Hybrid dynamic simulation, with its capability of injecting external signals into dynamic simulation, opens the traditional dynamic simulation loop for interaction with actual field measurements. This simulation technique enables rigorous comparison between simulation results and actual measurements and model validation of individual power system components within a small subsystem. This paper uses a real example of generator model validation to illustrate the procedure and validity of the component model validation methodology using hybrid dynamic simulation. Initial model calibration has also been carried out to show how model validation results would be used to improve component models
