Renewable Energy Systems
ATPDesigner supports different algorithms to calculate the steady state conditions (in ATPDesigner so called Short Circuit Analysis or Load Flow Analysis) of voltages, currents, power, etc., if renewable power plants e.g. wind power plants or a photovoltaic power plants must be considered. ATPDesigner uses current sources to take into account the behaviour of wind power plants or photovoltaic power systems which are using DC/AC converter to infeed electrical energy in the power network. These current sources will be controlled by ATPDesigner itself, not by the ATP.
ATPDesigner determines the phasors of the phase-to-ground voltages at the infeed node of the converter analyzing the .LST-file of the ATP and calculates the amount and the phase shift of the current source to achieve the active and reactive power defined by the user.
