Suitability of Quantized DEVS LIM Methods for Simulation of Power Systems

Understand

The suitability of the QDL method for analyzing the performance of ac power systems has been evaluated by application to a microgrid.

• The QDL method is based on a combination of Quantized State Systems (QSS) methods and the Latency Insertion Method (LIM).
• The accuracy and computational intensity of QDL simulations were evaluated relative to an industry-standard reference method.
• The key advantages expected of the QDL approach -- including high computational efficiency when the system is operating in steady-state and, when not in steady-state, the need to update only those states that have been affected by quantum level changes of connected states.
