ORNL's New Tool Speeds Up Electric Grid Simulations
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a new simulation platform, RE-INTEGRATE, to enhance understanding and prediction of the modern electric grid's behavior. This open-source tool, set to be showcased at an upcoming workshop, offers highly accurate results with reduced computing time and cost, boosting electricity reliability.
RE-INTEGRATE employs Electromagnetic Transient (EMT) simulation, ideal for analyzing the instantaneous reactions of modern power electronics. The platform incorporates numerical simulation techniques, automation, and neural networks, enabling faster computation. It is designed to simulate all possible scenarios arising from fast-acting power electronics systems interacting with grid components in a large-scale power grid.
The team behind this innovative software includes Prof. Dr. Sebastian Strauß, Isis Tunnigkeit, and Prof. Dr. Nikol Rummel from Ruhr University Bochum and CAIS Research. They aim to model the U.S. electric grid, covering half of North America, as a complex organism. RE-INTEGRATE's advancements will be presented during an EMT simulation workshop at ORNL, co-hosted by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation in October 2023.
RE-INTEGRATE, an open-source platform developed by ORNL researchers, significantly improves the speed and accuracy of large-scale power system simulations. Its upcoming presentation at the EMT simulation workshop highlights the tool's potential in enhancing the reliability and understanding of the modern electric grid.
