Simulation of Some Power Electronics Case Studies In Matlab Simpowersystem Toolbox 

The paper covers some case studies that provide detailed, realistic examples of how to use Sim Power Systems in power system analysis. The following types of studies are covered on the paper:1. Thyristor-Based Static Var Compensator.2. Transient Stability of a Power System with SVC and PSS.3. GTO-Based STATCOM: Study the steady-state and dynamic performance of a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) on a transmission system. 4. Control of load flow using UPFC: Study the steady-state and dynamic performance of a unified power flow controller (UPFC).5. Variable-frequency Induction Motor Drive: Study of a PWM inverter is used as a variable-voltage, variable-frequency source to drive an induction motor in variable-speed operation.6. Chopper-Fed DC Motor Drive: Study of a DC motor drive with armature voltage controlled by a GTO thyristor chopper.7. VSC-Based HVDC Link: Modeling of a forced-commutated voltage-sourced converter high-voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) transmission link.
