Petersen Coil Regulators Analysis Using a Real-Time Digital Simulator

In order to study new technologies, in sight of smart grids, and for new regulation, protection, and control devices homologation tests, it becomes essential to use a real-time digital simulator (RTDS). This calculator offers the possibility to analyze the behavior of the aforementioned devices in any electrical grid condition, especially those hardly reproducible on the real field. In this paper, the analysis of two types of Petersen Coil Regulators will be discussed, focusing on the experimental results reached, useful to gain an optimized electrical distribution grid management.
