Modern electrical energy systems are rapidly evolving and becoming more complex due to their growing integration with smart energy grids and increased utilization of power-electronic-based distributed renewable energy resources. Planning, development and safe operation of these systems are only possible with reliable offline computer studies and real-time simulations. Thousands of engineers in control centers and research facilities around the world are working full-time conducting studies. Canada has been a leader in developing state-of-the-art computerized tools and solutions that enable the design and operation of electric power systems of various scales. Widely accepted electromagnetic transient (EMT) programs, e.g. ATP, Microtran, EMTP-RV, PSCAD, RTDS, Opal-RT's RT-LAB, Matlab's SimscapeElectrical, and Powertech Labs' transient stability DSATools, etc., all have originated from and/or developed by Canadian researchers/companies which are now extensively used throughout the world as industry-standard tools.******To support UBC's long-time tradition in developing computationally efficient models and simulation techniques, the requested equipment will be used to build the planned power-hardware-in-the-loop real-time (P-HIL-RT) simulation platform for studies and operational optimization of integrated ACDC energy systems. With the distribution system of UBC campus as the benchmark, the proposed P-HIL-RT simulation platform will extend the research capability by connecting the simulation hardware and control algorithms with the existing installed ACDC power infrastructure and future power equipment, which facilitates conducting detailed studies on a building and campus-wide system. The requested equipment will also be used for emulating additional converters/energy sources/loads/storage and other components of distribution system, where new/advanced models of power components will be verified and tested in real-time with experimental hardware, which is envisioned to help predict and prevent potential blackouts and failures in realistic power grids.******The requested equipment will stimulate and support new initiatives, and will provide the experimental facility for several existing and future Collaborative Research and Development programs, Alliance grants, and Discovery Grants currently undertaken and planned by members of the UBC's Electric Power and Energy System research group (comprises Drs. J. Jatskevich, J. Marti, C. Chen, H. Dommel, W. Dunford, and M. Ordonez), the results of which will boost the modelling capabilities of modern and future simulation tools which is a top-notch expertise and business for many Canadian companies. The planned P-HIL-RT simulation platform will also provide a concurrent opportunity for about 40 students to receive valuable training and acquire unique expertise. This will enable Canada to lead the new paradigms of integrating alternative energy resources and the evolving future smart energy systems.

现代电能系统正在快速发展，并且由于其与智能电网的日益集成以及基于电力电子的分布式可再生能源的利用率增加而变得更加复杂。只有通过可靠的离线计算机研究和实时模拟，这些系统的规划、开发和安全运行才有可能。世界各地的控制中心和研究机构的数千名工程师正在全职进行研究。加拿大在开发最先进的计算机化工具和解决方案方面一直处于领先地位，这些工具和解决方案使各种规模的电力系统的设计和运营成为可能。广泛接受的电磁暂态（EMT）程序，例如ATP、Microtran、EMTP-RV、PSCAD、RTDS、Opal-RT的RT-LAB、Matlab的SimscapeElectrical和Powertech Labs的暂态稳定DSATools等，所有这些工具都是由加拿大研究人员/公司开发的，现在作为行业标准工具在世界各地广泛使用。*****为了支持UBC在开发计算效率高的模型和仿真技术方面的长期传统，所要求的设备将用于构建计划中的电力硬件在环实时（P-HIL-RT）仿真平台，以研究和优化综合ACDC能源系统的运行。以UBC校园的配电系统为基准，拟议的P-HIL-RT仿真平台将通过将仿真硬件和控制算法与现有安装的ACDC电力基础设施和未来的电力设备相连接来扩展研究能力，这有助于对建筑物和校园范围的系统进行详细的研究。所要求的设备还将用于模拟额外的转换器/能源/负载/存储和配电系统的其他组件，其中新的/先进的电力组件模型将通过实验硬件进行实时验证和测试，预计将有助于预测和防止现实电网中的潜在停电和故障。所要求的设备将刺激和支持新的倡议，并将提供实验设施，为几个现有的和未来的合作研究和发展计划，联盟赠款，并发现赠款目前正在进行和计划的成员UBC的电力和能源系统研究小组（包括博士J。Chen，H. Dommel，W. Dunford和M. Ordonez），其结果将提高现代和未来仿真工具的建模能力，这对许多加拿大公司来说是一流的专业知识和业务。计划中的P-HIL-RT仿真平台还将为约40名学生提供同时接受宝贵培训和获得独特专业知识的机会。这将使加拿大能够引领整合替代能源资源和不断发展的未来智能能源系统的新模式。
