Geomagnetic disturbance (GMD) simulator for power system - Phase I

该方案的目标是开发一个用于地磁扰动(GMD)下电力系统分析的综合评估工具的原型。根据最近制定的国际标准和操作指南，所有高压电力系统都应该对其系统进行GMD影响评估，并提供证据表明其系统不容易受到GMD的不利影响，如果发现任何问题，需要提供有效的解决方案，以维护互联电力系统在GMD期间的可靠性和完整性。这些标准任务要求电力系统分析采用先进的方法和解决方案，但这些方法和技术既不够先进，也不够准确，不足以解决所提出的关切问题。因此，现有的计算工具还处于初级阶段，只能涵盖整个系统解决方案的一些基本方面。因此，电力行业迫切需要一种能够准确反映GMD对电力系统各方面影响的综合工具，电力企业对开发这种工具表现出了购买和使用的兴趣，为电力系统GMD影响评估提供了一套完整的解决方案。开发的工具具有实时运行和离线运行的能力。因此，它可以应用于电力系统控制室，对GMD条件下的电网进行实时监测和控制，并作为一种离线仿真工具，用于规划和设计对GMD具有免疫力的弹性电力系统。

The objective of this proposal is to develop a prototype of a comprehensive assessment tool for power system analysis under Geomagnetic Disturbance (GMD) which is also referred to as solar geomagnetic storm. Due to the recently developed international standards and operation guidelines, all the high voltage power systems should perform the GMD impacts assessment on their systems and provide the evidences showing that their systems are not vulnerable to the detrimental effects of GMD, and in the case of any identified problems, they need to provide an effective solution that can preserve the reliability and integrity of the interconnected power system during the GMD. Such standard mandates require advanced methods and solution techniques for power system analysis which are not either available or accurate enough to address the raised concerns. As a result, the existing computation tools are in their infancy stage and can only cover some basic aspects of the entire system solution. Therefore, a novel comprehensive tool to accurately cover various aspects of the GMD impacts on power systems is highly demanding in power industry, and power utilities have shown their interests to purchase and use such a tool if developed.The proposed computation tool provides a complete solution for power system GMD impact assessment. The developed tool has the capability of running in real-time and offline modes. Thus, it can be employed in power system control rooms for real-time monitoring and control of the grid under the GMD conditions and as an offline simulation tool for planning and design of the resilient power system with immunity to the GMD impacts.
