Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation includes the methodology, implementation, validation, as well as real-time modeling of a load emulator for a reconfigurable grid emulation platform of hardware test-bed (HTB). This test-bed was proposed by Center of Ultra-wide-area Resilient Electric Energy Transmission Network (CURENT) at the University of Tennessee, at Knoxville in 2011, to address the transmission level system challenges posed by contemporary fast changing energy technologies.

Detailed HTB introduction, including design concept, fundamental units and hardware construction, is elaborated. In the development, current controlled three-phase power electronics converter based emulator unit is adopted to create desired power system loading conditions.

In the application, …
