Modern electrical energy systems’ complexity is rapidly increasing with the integration of renewable energy sources and broader adaptation of power electronic technologies. Accurate and fast simulations enable the design and operation of present and future electric grids and may prevent potential blackouts and system failures. Electrical machines and power electronic converters are typically the computational bottle-neck in widely used electromagnetic transient (EMT/EMTP) programs and real-time simulators. These components typically require very small simulation time-step, are computationally expensive, and limit the system size that can be practically studied. At the same time, there is a strong need to simulate larger systems with many switching converters and rotating machines using limited computational resources. The presentation will introduce some of the research efforts carried out at UBC ’s Electrical Power and Energy Systems group. We will discuss computationally advanced models of power converters and electrical machines that can significantly extend the range of applications of such transient simulation tools.

Juri Jatskevich (M’99−F’17) received the MSEE and the Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Purdue University, West Lafayette IN, USA , in 1997 and 1999, respectively. Since 2002, he has been at The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada, where he is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. His research interests include power electronic systems, electrical machines and drives, and modelling and simulation of electromagnetic transients. Dr. Jatskevich served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON POWER ELECTRONICS (2008–2013), the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ENERGY CONVERSION (2013–2019), and the Editor-in-Chief At-Large for the IEEE PES journals (2019). He was the recipient of the 2022 IEEE PES Cyril Veinott Electromechanical Energy Conversion Award.
