Abstract :
This paper presents the solution approach for simulation of control systems and nonlinearities used in UBC´s Object Virtual Network Integrator (OVNI) power system simulator. OVNI is aimed at simulation of full-size power system networks in real time using integrated software/hardware solutions. The software solution is based on the Multiarea Thevenin Equivalent (MATE) network partitioning framework. Multilevel MATE expands the concept of MATE to a subsystem level, allowing for the efficient inclusion of controllers´ equations and nonlinearities
