Description

Use this block to generate a three-phase sinusoidal voltage with time-varying parameters. You can program the time variation for the amplitude, phase, or frequency of the fundamental component of the source. In addition, two harmonics can be programmed and superimposed on the fundamental signal.

Examples

The Three-Phase Programmable Source, V-I Measurement and Sequence Analyzer circuit illustrates the use of the Three-Phase Programmable Voltage Source block to produce a step variation of the positive-sequence voltage and to inject harmonics into the circuit.

A 25 kV, 100 MVA short-circuit level, equivalent network feeds a 5 MW, 2 Mvar capacitive load. The internal voltage of the source is controlled by the Discrete 3-phase Programmable Voltage Source block.

A positive sequence of 1.0 pu, 0 degrees is specified for the fundamental signal. At t = 0.05 s a step of 0.5 pu is applied to the positive-sequence voltage magnitude, then at t = 0.1 s, 0.08 pu of fifth harmonic in negative sequence is added to the 1.5 pu voltage.

The three-phase voltage and current are measured at the output of the source impedance. Two Discrete Sequence Analyzer blocks are used to measure the positive-sequence fundamental component and the negative-sequence fifth harmonic of the three-phase voltage.

To edit block parameters interactively, use the Property Inspector. From the Simulink® Toolstrip, on the Simulation tab, in the Prepare gallery, select Property Inspector.

Parameters

The amplitude in volts RMS phase-to-phase, the phase in degrees, and the frequency in hertz of the positive-sequence component of the three voltages. Default is [100 0 60].

Phase B and phase C internal voltages lag phase A by 120 degrees and 240 degrees, respectively ([0 -120 +120]).

Specify the parameter for which you want to program the time variation. Select None (default) if you do not want to program the time variation of the source parameters. Select Amplitude if you want to program the time variation of the amplitude. Select Phase if you want to program the time variation of the phase. Select Frequency if you want to program the time variation of the frequency.

The time variation applies to the three phases of the source except when the Type of variation parameter is set to Table of amplitude-pairs. In that case you can apply a variation to phase A only.

Specify the type of variation that is applied to the parameter specified by the Time variation of parameter. Select Step to program a step variation. Select Ramp to program a ramp variation. Select Modulation to program a modulated variation. Select Table of amplitude-pairs to program a series of step changes of amplitudes at specific times.

The Table of amplitude-pairs option is available only when the Time variation of parameter is set to Amplitude.

Table of amplitude-pairs is the default when Time variation of is set to Amplitude. Step is the default when Time variation of is set to Phase or Frequency.

Load Flow

The load flow parameters are used to define block parameters for use with the Load Flow tool of the Powergui block. These load flow parameters are used for model initialization only. They have no impact on the block model and on the simulation’s performance.

The configuration of the Load Flow tab depends on the option selected for the Generator type parameter.

The reference voltage magnitude and angle are specified by the Swing bus or PV bus voltage and Swing bus voltage angle parameters of the Load Flow Bus block connected to the voltage source terminals.

Select PV to implement a generator controlling its output active power P and voltage magnitude V. P is specified by the Active power generation P parameter of the block.
