Abstract

This paper presents an open-source educational tool for power and control engineering students to practice frequency control and test tunings and control strategies. The disturbance scenarios are realistic and automatically generated by the tool. This feature facilitates statistical analyses of the behaviour of the system. The paper shows simulation results with a common disturbance scenario and with two more severe cases.
