Stabilizing Hydro Power for the Electrical Grid
Objective
CASE
STUDY
Results
Using Modelon’s Hydro and Electric Power Library, engineers set
out to improve the understanding of Iceland’s Fossarvirkjun power
plant by investigating load rejection and exploring worst-case
scenarios during complete plant shut downs.

handle disturbances and safety critical
scenarios
• Improved operation with a lower closing

Over-Voltage Failure Investigation
Objective
CASE
STUDY
Results
Using Modelon’s Electric Power Library,
researchers set out to find the root-cause of an
over-voltage phenomenon in the Grunnåi power
station in Norway, which caused damage on the
equipment.
• Simulations bring understanding of the
system dynamics – the reactive power in
the grid is large enough to initiate self-
excitation of the asynchronous generators
• Correct protection relay settings crucial to
ensure safe operation and prevent over-
voltages

Editor's Notes

  • #8 This case study details how one of Germany’s largest thermal power plants has improved their primary control reserves; resulting in an electric grid that can integrate a higher number of renewable energy sources, including wind and solar. Modelon’s Thermal Power Library enabled researchers to develop a model consisting of different sub-sections, coupled through fluid-connections and a control signal bus. Nearly 11,000 differential-algebraic equations are used to describe the system which includes about 500 thermodynamic states.
