Computational Modeling of Excitation Systems in ATPDraw

In recent years, the growing implantation of distributed energy resources owned by independent producers have been provoking many changes in the manner electric distribution systems operate. In this sense, it is important that studies regarding the effects of the actuation of such elements in the network are performed with sophisticated and precise computational analyses in order to guarantee accurate results and to contribute towards innovation in the electric sector. Hence, this work aims to promote resources for the better performance of studies on the dynamic actuation of distributed generators, by means of providing a detailed explanation of the procedures required for the modeling and parameterization of commonly used excitation systems in distributed generation units in the simulation software ATPDraw. In addition, a case study was proposed to validate their performance while operating in a biomass generator under a contingency situation.
