The network and the load The electrical network is modelled under a positive sequence pattern or a full unsymmetrical representation. The voltage at the buses are governed by the algebraic equations I = Y U. Loads are represented by either a non-linear equation as a function of voltage and frequency or by dynamic models using macroblocks ; the dynamic effect of low voltage level tap changers is also modelled. Several loads, with different variation laws, can be modelled on the same bus. Reactive compensators are represented as single elements or as banks.
The asynchronous machines An induction machine may be modelled in two different ways : the complete model in which the dynamics
of the rotoric fluxes are calculated assuming the existence of a double rotor cage;
the simplified model which neglects rotor transients.
The mechanical resistant torque can be modelled with accuracy thanks to the use of the simulation macrolanguage The users can define the induction motor by its external parameters (namplate characteristics) or internal parameters (leakage resistances and reactances). An asynchronous machine can operate either as a motor, or as an alternator.
The transformer The tap positions are explicitly represented. The leakage reactance and the transformer ratio depend on the tap-changer position. The saturation is also modelled. Three winding transformers can be explicitly represented.
The injector A complex power (P,Q), a variable admittance (G,B) or a current (in rectangular or polar coordinates) can be defined as injectors at each node. The mathematical model of those injectors are defined with the macrolanguage. This procedure is used to represent dynamic loads, SVC's, etc... Furthermore, two injectors may be coupled to modelize special serial devices such as FACTS, HVDC lines, etc... Infinite buses are also available.
The substation Coupling devices with zero impedance are available to represent the different bus bars of the substations.
The synchronous alternator The modelling of synchronous machines is done according to Parks classical theory, where the rotor is represented by 4 equivalent windings : the exciter winding and a damper in the direct axis with magnetic coupling between these windings and two dampers in the quadrature axis. The machine internal fluxes have been made sensitive to the system frequency. The saturation of the magnetic circuits may be represented using Shackshafts model. The set-up transformer may also be included in the alternator model. As for the mechanical behaviour of the alternator, rotor movements are described by the rotating masses equation, which relates the mechanical and electrical torques to the variation of rotation speed.
The user can define the alternator by its external parameters (reactances and time constants) or internal parameters (mutual and dispersion inductances, resistances).
The automata An automaton enables to generate an event, according to the state variables values. The equations describing the automata are evaluated after each integration step, based on the value taken by the required state variables.
The following automata are available : overcurrent relay protection; out-of-step relay, tripping the machine in case of loss of
synchronism; automatic tap changer transformer : the automaton
changes the taps to respect a given voltage setpoint inside the dead-band. Mechanism of tap locking is also provided in order to cope with situations of voltage collapses. The control can also be based on the active power through the transformer;
distance protection balanced systems : monitoring both ends of transmission lines , with anti-swing and stage acceleration features;
distance protections unbalanced systems : based on a user given ratio of FORTESCUE impedances, anti-swing, stage acceleration features and individual phase opening;
the frequency load shedding protection; the tripping of a branch based on the measurement of
the transmitted power; the tripping of a machine in case of under or over
voltage measured at a desired bus; the tripping of a machine (synchronous or induction) in
case of under or over speed; the tripping of a machine as the output of a given block
exceeds a given threshold. A field current protection can be modelled by this way;
the detection of system instability, based on angle and speed criteria;
the load-frequency control, for AGC simulation (secondary control);
the generalized wattmetric protection (branch opening or machine tripping on power criterion).

The models of control systems and processes
The user has access to a library of standard models of processes and control systems. He can also create his own models, by using a graphic tool (pre-processor) interactively. Each model is represented by a graphical scheme, the so called macroblock. No FORTRAN coding is required to specify new models of turbines, boilers, controllers, SVC, load, ... The macroblocks are designed on the screen of the workstation, using a large set of elementary blocks to build the block-diagram (see also DATA PREPARATION - Interactive graphic pre-processor for modelling).
The macroblocks corresponding to different generating units or injectors can be coupled to represent the interactions between various power system components : hydro units on a same water column, combined cycles, HVDC lines, etc...
The library of macroblocks contents the following :
IEEE HYDRO SYSTEMS Mechanical-hydraulic speed governor system for
hydro-turbines Approximate linear model of speed governor

HVDC systems
Direct current links can be accurately modelled in EUROSTAG in order to simulate multiterminal and dissymetrical HVDC systems.
The static modelling considered in the initial flow programme allows different control modes :
three on the DC side (voltage control, current control, power control), and two on the AC side (minimization of reactive consumption, AC voltage
adjustment) The modelling used in the dynamic simulation programme is based on the concept of coupled macroblocks, specific to EUROSTAG, which allows either to use the standard models of the library or to modify them according to the needs of the user.
The model enables to explore the dynamic performance of a system for load changes, for switching of capacitors and reactors, for load rejection, for recovery from AC and DC faults and commutation failure, and for investigation of control for enhancing the performance of the power system (damping of active power and frequency oscillations).
The DC system is made of two parts :
the conversion stations(at least two) and their associated controllers, the DC network. The controllers of one converter consist generally in the following five elements :
the converter firing and current controller, the current order limiter, the extinction angle controller, the master controller, governing the power flow on the DC system, and the load tap changer controller.
Standard models are available in the macroblocks library.

Unsymmetrical conditions
The introduction in EUROSTAG of unsymmetrical modelling allows the study of power system dynamics including unsymmetrical disturbances or conditions. Realistic and complex scenarios can be simulated or reproduced without the usual approximations.
Typical applications are :
study of power system dynamics following unsymmetrical disturbances; short circuit calculation including unlimited simultaneous unsymmetrical
conditions; relay protection scheme studies.
Power system modelling A Fortescue decomposition is used and requires positive, negative and zero sequence data for :
the lines : model for the 3 sequences with zero sequence mutual coupling data;
the load and compensation devices : the inverse and zero sequence data are of impedance type;
the transformers : the negative sequence model is identical to the positive sequence one, with a conjugate ratio. The zero sequence model is either the classical model (two windings or autotransformer, tertiary winding available, forced or free fluxes), or the generic transformer (unsymmetrical scheme per tap). The windings are delta or star connected, grounded through impedances or not;
the serial element : as a line without shunt element, dedicated to the serial compensation modelling;
the machines (generators and induction motors) : the inverse torque is taken into account in the positive electric torque calculation. The negative and zero sequences are impedances.
Unsymmetrical subsystem embedded into balanced system The power system can be splitted into one or more Fortescue areas, modelled in detail, and non Fortescue areas, including only the positive sequence data. This allows to save computation time and data management efforts, while keeping the required accuracy.

THE EVENTS
4.3 - TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Any incident, manoeuvre or process command happening during a simulation is called an event. An event may be either defined before the simulation begins, or generated by the programme itself through the tripping of an automaton, or introduced interactively by the user during the simulation. The list of events includes the following :
short-circuits : case of the impedance-free short-circuit (at a node - on a line); short-circuit with impedance (at a node - on a line).
closing and tripping of lines or transformers , breakers; coupling and tripping of generators; generator synchronization and motor start-up; network resynchronization; modification of active and reactive loads including loads modelized as
asynchronous motors:
load variation modification of time load evolution
process control : modification of set points in controllers; modification of tap transformer; modification of ULTC transformer; modification to banks and their protective devices; modification of an automatic device parameter or state; exporting of the linearized system; fault clearance.

DATA PREPARATION
Editing simulation data
A dedicated EUROSTAG module is devoted to a user-friendly edition of all the simulation data : the load-flow data (topology, load, generation, network parameters, ...), the dynamic data (characteristics of generators and motors, type and parameters of the controllers, nature of the loads, ...) and the parameters of the simulated scenario (time of events, type of short circuits, trippings, eigenvalues computations,etc ...).
This edition programme is designed allows an easy access to the EUROSTAG formatted data files :
it allows the user to ignore the structure of the files (column, position, format, ...) and avoids any syntactic error;
through a functional grouping of the data, and an explicit definition, it offers a structured and aided data entry;
it allows a cross-access between the relevant files by means of a list of proposed elements.
Interactive graphic pre-processor for modelling
The graphic pre-processor enables the user to get rid of FORTRAN coding, if he wants to create his own models called "macroblock". In the first stage of the macroblocks description, the block diagram of the model is built up graphically and in an interactive way by means of a catalogue of elementary blocks (summer, relays, time constants...).
The topology of the diagram is then given. Finally, the parameters and initial values are defined by either numerical values or by a second (algebraic) block diagram which is only solved during the initialization phase of the simulation.
This procedure is of great help to the engineer who has to design or modify a controller, avoiding any modification of the computer programme. This graphic model input can also be used to design such components as SVC or DC links or special loads.
Data Conversion
The Data Conversion module enables to convert data from IEEE format or PTI format (release 26) to EUROSTAG format.
Most of models from PTI are converted, as well load flow files as dynamic files.
Compliance with Windows tools
The Windows version of EUROSTAG is fully compliant with various tools available under this environment: spreadsheet, word or image processing In particular all the graphical schemes generated by the EUROSTAG package can be saved under the Extended Meta File (.emf) format and transfered to any tool that supports this format.

One Line Diagram Editor
The One Line Diagram Editor allows the user to draw a schematic view of the network and to access the physical data of the main components.
drawing the one line diagram The basic element is the electric node. The lines, transformers and coupling devices
connect the nodes. Components such as generators or capacitors banks are connected to the nodes.
accessing to the physical data The load flow data (bus, line, transformer, capacitors, etc) can be directly managed
from the one line diagram : the dedicated displays of the Editing simulation data module (see above) are directly accessed, for an efficient data engineering.
Running the Load-Flow programme The Load-Flow programme can be launched from the One Line Diagram Editor.
The key results (voltages, flows ) are automatically displayed on the diagram. This Load-Flow programme is the same as the one encapsulated within the main computation module of EUROSTAG.
The load flow computation
This part of the computation module is a Load-Flow calculation based on the Newton-Raphson method. It produces a detailed listing of the voltage map and a binary file which is used in the initialization phase of the simulation. DC representation is available.
The load flow programme can read the voltage initial values included in the data file. This feature makes easier the dialog between EUROSTAG and other power system analysis programmes or packages.

PACKAGE OVERVIEW
4.3 - TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The dynamic simulation computation
This part of the computation module is in fact the algorithmical core of the software. The study of power system dynamics requires the solving of a large algebraic and differential system. The differential part comes from the machines and the controls equations, and the algebraic part originates essentially from the network equations.
The integration technique which is used is a predictor-corrector method in Nordsiecks formalism. The user does not have to think about the time step value, he or she just specifies the accuracy requirements. The integration step automatically increases or decreases according to a truncation error, which is compared to the given accuracy.
Power systems are the site of numerous discontinuities; a crude technique for dealing with them would be to re-initialize the integration process whenever a discontinuity occurs. This would lead to prohibitive computation times. We have thus developed a numerical procedure which combines effective treatment of discontinuities and computational performance.
The simulation is designed to be run interactively.
The man-machine interface is organized in two graphical zones: one is an animated chart for displaying various physical variables (voltage, mechanical torque, frequency, ) and the other is a logbook window that receives the messages and alarms generated during the simulation. Any kind of event can be created through user friendly menus during the simulation.
A batch mode does also exist.

SIMULATION
Eigenvalue computation and exporting of the linearized system
The eigenvalue calculation, provided along the system trajectory, is a powerful tool to check the stability of new controllers. It is limited to medium size systems.
A linearized system export function is also available for further processing in standard linear systems analysis packages.
This function initiates the linearization of the nonlinear mathematical model numerically integrated during the simulation, and supplies the Jacobean matrix (derivatives of the functions with respect to the state variables).
The linearized system is memorized in sparse form in a user identified file.
Three types of linearized output are available :
complete system (algebraic and differential functions) in the format of the most standard software of the market;
or complete system (algebraic and differential functions) in ASCII format;
or reduced system (differential functions after elimination of the algebraic state variables) in ASCII format.
A complementary file makes it possible to know the meaning of the variables.
Automatic fault clearing times computation
A module makes possible the automatic determination of the fault clearing times.
This search is performed by a dichotomic procedure which reduces a user-supplied starting interval.
Each step of the dichotomic search is performed by the automatic run of the main simulation software.
An automat detects the stable or unstable state of the system.

RESULTS ANALYSIS
Post-processor for results analysis
The graphic post-processor makes easier both the interpretation of results and the editing of reports. Zooming, curves comparison, superposition, change of scales, elimination of time, etc enables a spontaneous approach of the result analysis. Any variable can be plotted, it is for example possible to look at all the elementary block outputs, without needing to declare a priori which variables will be observed. However, the size of the output files is not huge, because state variables are the only variables to be stored. All other variables are re-calculated in the post-processor. Advanced layout can be designed by choosing fonts and curves shapes or adding comments and footers, Some additional features such as command files allow important time savings. They replace repetitive tasks : the sequences of commands are recorded when applied to a given case, and can be automatically replayed on another case. IMPORT functions are provided to compare EUROSTAG results with external quantities such as measures, results of other programmes, etc... EXPORT functions allow to integrate EUROSTAG results in packages such as spreadsheets . As for the other modules, the Extended Meta File is available on the Windows environment and allows to enerate graphical copies of charts and pages.
Users defined tabular and curve outputs
A dedicated module allows the user to get a synthetic view of the results. It generates tables of EUROSTAG results associated to a given instant, or a given time range, or curves. In each table or set of curves, the results of a type of system component (node, branch, generators, motor, ...) are given for a list of these components. This list is built by the user through specific filters, for instance critical thresholds. The user can access all types of simulation results, including interface variables, macrolanguage block outputs, characteristics of the equipment, etc... Mathematical operations are possible, and output in ASCII format can be used in spreadsheets. This tool allows an easy and fast processing of large power systems results.
Results on One Line Diagrams
The load fow and dynamic results can be displayed on the one line diagrams. The filtering mechanisms offered by the "User defined tabular outputs" module can be used to issue only the relevant results. Colouring features allow to emphasize chosen ranges of values.
