Abstract

This work presents an alternative method to simulate an Utility Interface (UI) consisting of a Power Electronics Converter (PEC). The proposed method is based on an equivalent resistor-inductor-capacitor (RLC) passive network circuit that resembles the output impedance of the UI, taking into account the internal resonant control characteristics of the UI. Although a controllable voltage source may emulate an UI converter, introducing an RLC network leads to a more accurate approximation of the complete UI simulated system. Comparisons are made using the frequency response of the complete system and the RLC-network circuit, and simulations are carried out on PSIM software. Results show a satisfactory dynamic and steady-state performance with a notable reduction of the elapsed simulation time. Therefore, the RLC-network-based UI could be applicable to fasten and to simplify simulations when multiples PECs are being analyzed within a complex environment, such as a microgrid. (AU)
