GUIDELINES FOR MODELING POWER ELECTRONICS IN ELECTRIC POWER ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS Report Prepared by the Power Electronics Task Force of the IEEE Modeling and Analysis of System Transients Working Group

ABSTRACT-This paper presents a summary of guidelines for modeling power electronics in various power engineering applications. This document is designed for use by power engineers who need to simulate power electronic devices and subsystems with digital computer programs. The guideline emphasizes the basic issues that are critical for successful mod-eling of power electronics devices and the interface between power electronics and the utility or industrial system. The mod-eling considerations addressed in this guideline are generic for all power electronics modeling independent of the computa-tional tool. However, for the purposes of illustration, the simu-lation examples presented are based on the EMTP or EMTP type of programs. The procedures used to implement power electronics models in these examples are valuable for using other digital simulation tools. 1
