Abstract

Power-electronic-based grid emulators are emerging as a promising way to test the grid-code compliance of renewable energy resources. Yet, the ever-increasing power and voltage levels of device under test pose new requirements and challenges to power-electronic-based grid emulators. This paper first gives an overview of testing capability requirements based on the recent grid codes and standards, then discusses the resulted dynamic interactions and solutions for power-electronic-based grid emulators. Perspectives on the open issues and emerging trends of grid emulators are finally shared.
