NSERC/Manitoba Hydro/Manitoba HVDC Research Center/RTDS/Electranix/Teshmont/TGS Industrial Research Chair in Power Systems Simulation

NSERC电力系统仿真工业研究主席（IRC）将利用马尼托巴大学强大的电力工程集团和电力工程领域六个突出的工业合作伙伴的综合能力。这些合作伙伴包括：马尼托巴水电公司，一家拥有 ** 接近100%可再生能源发电的大型公用事业公司;马尼托巴高压直流输电研究中心，一家电力系统仿真软件的主要开发商; RTDS技术公司，一家电力行业实时仿真器的主要制造商;以及三家在电力系统建模方面具有丰富专业知识的加拿大咨询公司，即 **Teshmont Consultants，TransGrid Solutions和Electranix Corporation。**位于马尼托巴大学的IRC将进行研究，以改进大型电力网络建模工具。它将使用最新的计算设备，如图形处理单元和现场可编程门阵列，开发新的快速准确的仿真平台。进行 ** 超快速仿真的能力将允许基于仿真的电力设备优化设计，并且还允许 ** 统计方法用于评估包含 ** 本质上不稳定的可再生能源的电力网络的稳定性和供电质量。这些平台还将允许对 ** 大陆规模的电力系统进行建模，从而能够研究如何利用高压直流（HVDC）传输 ** 系统覆盖在广泛的地理区域内进行能量传输，以提高电力供应 ** 的安全性。这项研究将帮助加拿大电力系统模拟器行业保持其竞争优势，并为 ** 公用事业行业提供更有效的能源运输解决方案。在接下来的5年里，IRC计划将毕业超过25名熟练的研究生和博士后研究员，从而为加拿大至关重要的领域的高素质人才库做出重大贡献。

The NSERC Industrial Research Chair (IRC) in Power Systems Simulation will harness the combined**capabilities of the University of Manitoba's strong Electrical Power Engineering Group and six prominent**industrial partners in the power engineering field. These partners include Manitoba Hydro, a major utility with**close to 100% renewable energy generation; the Manitoba HVDC Research Centre, a major developer of power**system simulation software; RTDS Technologies, a major manufacturer of real-time simulators for the power**industry; and three Canadian Consulting Firms with strong expertise in Power System Modelling, namely,**Teshmont Consultants, TransGrid Solutions and Electranix Corporation.**The IRC, located at the University of Manitoba, will conduct research into improving the tools for modelling**large power networks. It will develop new fast and accurate simulation platforms using the latest computing**devices such as Graphical Processing Units and Field Programmable gate arrays. The ability to conduct**ultra-fast simulations will allow for simulation based optimal designs of power equipment, and also permit**statistical methods to be used to assess the stability and supply quality of power networks incorporating**renewal energy sources which are erratic in nature. The platforms will also permit modeling of**continental-scale power systems and thus enable investigations into improving the security of power supply**using energy transfers across wide geographical areas using high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission**system overlays. The research will help the Canadian Power Systems Simulator Industry, which is already a**world leader to retain its competitive edge, and also yield more efficient energy transport solutions for the**utility industry.**Over the next 5 years, the IRC program will graduate over 25 skilled graduate students and post-doctoral**fellows, thus making a significant contribution to the pool of highly qualified personnel in an area of vital**importance to Canada.
