⚡ As Australia’s electricity grid increasingly integrates inverter-based resources (IBRs), the strategic placement of grid assets is critical for maintaining system stability and operational efficiency. However, traditional asset placement studies are often limited by the time and labor required to manually reconfigure large-scale models across multiple scenarios.
💡 This session introduces an efficient and scalable workflow using Simulink and Simscape Electrical that eliminates repetitive remodeling. By combining vectorised modeling, parallel computing, and programmatic model building, this approach enables rapid scenario generation and high-throughput simulations without altering model architecture.
Key topics include:
🔹 Programmatic construction of large-scale power system models
🔹 Dynamic reconfiguration of assets using parameter and connectivity vectors
🔹 Automation of impedance scans and frequency response analyses 📊
🔹 Integration of third-party models into Simscape Electrical workflows
📚 A case study will be presented using a 118-bus transmission system with 35 synchronous condensers repositioned across 100 randomized scenarios. This method allows fast, scalable simulations while maintaining consistent model architecture.
👷♂️ This event is ideal for engineers, researchers, consultants, and utility professionals seeking efficient tools for high-IBR power system studies.
