TL;DR: This paper considers the state-variable-based simulation packages, and provides a constant-parameter decoupled RL-branch equivalent circuit for interfacing the ac induction and synchronous machine models with the external electrical network.
Abstract: Transient simulation programs, either nodal analysis-based electromagnetic transient program (EMTP-like) or state-variable-based, are used very extensively for modeling and simulation of various power and energy systems with electrical machines. It has been shown in the literature that the method of interfacing machine models with the external electrical network plays an important role in numerical accuracy and computational performance of the overall simulation. This paper considers the state-variable-based simulation packages, and provides a constant-parameter decoupled RL-branch equivalent circuit for interfacing the ac induction and synchronous machine models with the external electrical network. The proposed interfacing circuit is based on the voltage-behind-reactance formulation which has been shown to have advantageous properties. For the synchronous machines, this paper describes both implicit and explicit (approximate) interfacing methods. The presented case studies demonstrate the advantages of using the proposed interfacing method over the traditional -models that are conventionally used in many simulation packages.

01 Nov 2009TL;DR: A system-of-systems approach using agent-based modeling is applied here to develop workflow simulations involving a ship's crew conducting routine maintenance, watch duty, and reporting functions, which demonstrate an increase in machine availability due to the implementation of intelligent maintenance systems.
Abstract: Modeling and simulation environments are needed to support decision making in Navy Warfighters, which are emergent systems that pose a challenge to operations management. Ships consist of complex interconnected systems such as the infrastructure, crew, and workflow. A system-of-systems approach using agent-based modeling is applied here to develop workflow simulations involving a ship's crew conducting routine maintenance, watch duty, and reporting functions. Simple models are used to describe basic behavioral traits and intelligence in crew members; machinery including sensors for intelligent maintenance; equipment consuming power; mobile and stationary communication network access points; models for data transfer over the network; crew mobility models; power distribution and trimming models for the electrical system; and a fire model to simulate emergency scenarios. The simulation results demonstrate an increase in machine availability due to the implementation of intelligent maintenance systems. The effects of wireless-network usage on crew resource utilization and overall ship capability in normal operational scenarios are also demonstrated. A simple rescheduling algorithm is used to improve crew utilization and estimate manning requirements. The effects of emergency scenarios such as fires in different locations are also studied. Sensitivity analysis is presented to verify the developed model, and a note on validation is given.
