INTRODUCTION

Simulation system is an analog power system model and it can not describe the practical power system absolutely [1]. The simulation of power system is divided into two categories, one is analog simulation and another is digital simulation. Most of them are off-line simulations, and very few are on-line simulations. In order to get a reliable simulation result that approaches to the practical system or represents the characteristics of the practical system, the common method is to use various simulation tools to model and simulate the same system, and compare the simulation results for authenticity judgment [2-6]. It is very difficult to determinate which model is more accuracy when simulation results are different. In such situation, the theoretical calculation result or experience is usually needed to receive a reasonable judgment. If the model is accuracy, the steady-state and dynamic characteristics of the same system in different simulation software should be consistent to some extent. Therefore, this method is generally used to judge the accuracy and the validity of the simulation model, especially for the two kinds of popular simulation software. Every simulation tool has its own data format and sometimes they are not universal. But all the models base on the same physical model of the real power system, and for that they have many similar properties. Thus, the conversion of the data formats and the mathematical model of different simulation software are achievable and necessary. First of all, the differences and relationship between different models which described the same physical instrument in different simulation software must be analyzed. In this paper, based on IEEE9 buses system provided by BPA, an electromagnetic transient model for the IEEE9 buses system is built in PSCAD/EMTDC. To illustrate the

A. Introduction of BPA BPA program is an off-line analysis tool for large power system which is developed by the computation method development team of Energy's Bonneville Power Authority (BPA) of U.S. federal Department in the 1960s. At present, the BPA which has been widely used in China is the Chinese version developed from the 1983s version of US BPA by China Electric Power Research Institute. It has been used in power system for planning, designing, dispatching, operating, etc. It has become one of the important tools in power system analysis in China. The basic solution algorithm of Chinese BPA2.0 version is that linearizing differential equation, solving by trapezoidal quadrature rule, decomposing the admittance matrix with triangular method, and solving the network equation by iteration. This program is divided into two parts: power flow program and stability program [7-8]. B. Introduction of PSCAD The main function of PSCAD is simulation of power system in time domain and frequency domain. It also can be used in harmonic research of AC system, analysis of transient torque, the starting of HVDC system and HVDC commutation. For AC/DC system, it can simulate for the electromagnetic transient process of a series or parallel multi-terminal transmission system, and the interaction between the parallel AC and DC lines on the same tower, and so on. EMTDC program has the snapshot function. That is, it can record the sections at some time instants of the system. Based on this function further study on system transient process can be carried on. Element library of PSCAD/EMTDC almost includes all kinds of elements in power system and this program also provides interface to MATLAB, through which we can easily use the visual numerical calculation function in MATLAB [7, 9-11].

Models of the various elements of IEEE9 buses system in BPA are as follows: 1) Load model Constant power models are used in the given BPA model. 2) Generator model The dual-axis model with damper winding (sub-transient model) is chosen in the given BPA model. Generator 1 is a hydraulic turbine without excitation system, and generator 2 is a steam turbine with exciter, stabilizer, turbine governor and the prime mover. Generator 3 is a hydraulic turbine without excitation system. Generator 1 is the balancing machine. 3) Line model Lumped parameter model is used, and all the values are per-unit one. 4) Transformer model Double-winding transformer model is used, with the leakage reactance (p.u.) given. B. Establish IEEE9-bue system in PSCAD According to the parameters of IEEE9 buses system given in BPA, an IEEE9 buses system in PSCAD is built in this paper. The transformation rules of the parameters of the different models are in the following: 1) Load model In correspondence with BPA, constant power models are used. Pay attention that the parameters of active and reactive power of the load are the value of single-phase. 2) Generator model Synchronous machine models are used. Generator 1 and 3 are with excitation system and generator 2 is the one with exciter, stabilizer and turbine governor. Generator 1 is the balancing machine. It must be noticed that the parameters of generators in PSCAD are with the valid value. 3) Line model Overhead line models are used in correspondence with BPA.

The results of comparison about the magnitude and angle of bus voltage in IEEE9 buses system between BPA and PSCAD show that the error of magnitude is less than 10-2 and the error of angle is less than 10-1. The simulation results of IEEE9 buses system prove the conversion from BPA to PSCAD in this paper is successful. BPA is an electromechanical transient simulation tool while PSCAD is an electromagnetic transient simulation tool They have different simulation accuracy and simulation speed. Thus it will bring some differences in simulation. The Tab.1 shows that the difference occurs at the second position after the decimal point.

equivalent in the duration of fault beginning, clearing and recurring to a steady-state situation. The amplitudes of generators active power and lines active power are roughly equivalent, but the reactive power of generators and lines are not very identical. The reasons for difference of reactive curves are due to the difference of exciting systems in the two simulation software. V. CONCLUSION

Figure 10. Reactive power of generator 2

The simulation results of IEEE9 buses system between BPA and PACAD are compared in this paper. It is shown that the steady-state characteristics are of good identity between these two simulation tools. But for the dynamic characteristics, there is a little difference in the duration and restoration process of fault. This phenomenon occurs because of the different exciting systems in the two simulation tools. REFERENCES
