Title:

Inductive instrument transformers modelling in PSCAD

Description:

The objective of this project is to simulate current transformers and voltage

transformers in PSCAD.
The current and voltage transformer will be modelled using standard models in
PSCAD like JA or Lucas, with the available information from a real protection
system. The main idea here is to use limited real data from a commercial voltage
and current transformer and verify the capabilities of the protection system
regarding current, voltage and frequency limitations.
This project is in cooperation with DONG Energy; hence a contact person from
DONG will participate in meetings and assist with suggestions and data
throughout the project.
The first part of the project is to make literature study on:
-voltage transformers
-current transformers
-available models in PSCAD
since previous work has been done to incorporate different components in
electromagnetic transient simulations, however no standard procedure is been
used in the industry to validate the behaviour and capabilities of this instrument
transformers.
The second part of the project is to test in lab conditions the capabilities of one
current transformer and one voltage transformer, in order to measure the current,
voltage and frequency limitations.
Depending on the results from the previous parts, the third part of the project
would be to create a digital model of certain protection systems in PSCAD, using
the available information.
