High flexibility hybrid architecture real-time simulation platform based on field-programmable gate array (Fpga)

Abstract

With the expansion of system scale and the reduction in simulation step size, the design of a power system real-time simulation platform faces many difficulties. The interactive operation of real-time simulation presents the characteristics of phased and centralized. This paper proposes selecting the appropriate simulation method for each sub-network according to the system operation requirements, and the sub-network simulation method can be changed with the change in system operation requirements in the simulation process. In order to change the sub-network simulation method in the simulation process, a high flexibility hybrid architecture real-time simulation platform based on FPGA was designed. The main body of the architecture runs in the high control mode of instruction flow and uses instruction flexibility to realize the requirement of changing methods. The algorithm modularity architecture is used as an auxiliary architecture to reduce the instruction cost and increase the computing power. Finally, the hybrid architecture real-time simulation platform was implemented in the Xilinx VC709 board (Xilinx corporation, San Jose, CA, USA), and the verification results show that under the same system scale, the hybrid architecture simulation platform combined with simulation method changing realizes shorter simulation step and complex interactive operation.
