INTRODUCTION
Due to the growth and development of electric power systems it has been required to design increasingly sophisticated devices to manage electric
power in a safer and more efficient way.
Nowadays, protection and monitoring devices, which allow to know the electrical parameters in real time, such as voltage level in the nodes of the
grid, current level in the lines, active and reactive power level, frequency values, etc., are essential in the electrical grids. Protection systems play an
important role in power systems, since they can control in a practically independent way the safety and continuity of the power supply, as well as the
quality of the energy the final consumer gets.
The Modular Smart Grid Power Systems Simulators (Utilities) AEL-MPSS, with more than 285 control variables, have been designed to make
and use the same technology employed in power systems available in the industrial world, easy to use by experts and inexperienced people. We
included the safety conditions required to perform different short-circuit tests and experiments.
The AEL-MPSS systems simulators are specially designed and aimed at technical professional training, vocational training, for higher education
and even applied research, as well as the improvement in all fields through advanced systems.
The Modular Smart Grid Power Systems Simulators (Utilities) AEL-MPSS can be configured from three great areas formed by several options and
applications as:
1. Generation systems applications.
2. Transmission/Distribution systems applications.
3. Loads systems applications.
The objective of each area is to study a field of the electric power systems. All the options available in these three great areas have been designed
to be able to work either independently or combining with several options and applications in order to configure systems simulators (generation +
trasmission/ distribution + loads).
Due to the flexibility of our modular applications, it is possible to begin with easy applications for students with basic knowledge of power systems
and/or to combine several applications for intermediate or advanced levels. Thus, a system simulator consisting of applications of generation,
transmission/ distribution and loads will be created. Optionally, all of them including cutting edge protection relays to test their efficiency and
reliability against any electrical fault.
All applications on this catalogue include the SCADA (Supervision, Control and Data Acquisition), which allows to study the operation of today's
power systems in depth. This software enables the student to control the devices that make up the power systems remotely, observe in real time how
the typical operations of an electrical substation work, which are the voltage and current values at different points of the transport networks, how
much energy is generated and what occurs when the excitation current of our generator is increased or decreased.

SOME CONTROL VARIABLES USED WITH AEL-MPSS MODULAR SMART GRID POWER SYSTEMS
The AEL-MPSS Modular Power Systems is one of the most advanced and complete modular power systems of the market. In the following pages
the most important variables which allow the control of the system both in local and remote through the included SCADA are indicated.
The following are the most important 285 control variables that make the AEL-MPSS a forefront system able to interact with the user thanks to the
cutting-edge included devices.
The AEL-MPSS has been designed to show any electric phenomenon that are present in real power systems, such as short circuits, over currents,
over voltages, over frequencies, reverse power, generator runaway, etc.
A variable is any element or symbol of our system susceptible to be modified directly or indirectly by the user and the control system.
All power systems are formed by three fundamental parts:
1. Generation System.
2. Transmission/Distribution System.
3. Load System.
1. Generation System:
Power generation is the point where all power systems born, where transmission lines emerge up to distribution lines and finally, to give
electrical service to the final consumer. It is necessary a great quantity of control variables for a power system reliable, safe and optimal
because of these variables depend the electrical energy quality. This is the reason why the generation systems of the AEL-MPSS includes the
145 control variables most important that will allow user to interact with a sophisticated, real and intelligent generation system, which is
able to respond automatically against energy demand, it is able to protect automatically against short circuits, with light indicators and
alarms that will allow us to understand at all time the generation system state.
See the 145 control variables in next page.
2. Transmission/Distribution System:
After power generation, transmission and distribution systems are required to give power to the final consumer. These systems are highways of
aluminum and steel which transport great quantities of power up to strategic points of the country and even other countries. In the
transmission systems is very important to know variables such as transported energy, length transmission lines, capacitive effect, energy losses
produced along kilometers and kilometers, etc. Besides, in a transmission line system is not enough a conventional protection system. For
these systems are required distance protection relays able to detect changes in the line impedances and to sense undetectable anomalies for
other conventional protection relays.
Distribution substations adapt the transmission lines voltage levels up to lower voltage levels for energy distribution. On this point take
importance the distribution transformer with voltage regulator, which are able to compensate the transmission liens drop voltages.
The transmission/distribution power system of AEL-MPSS allows to study all these control variables and much more. In the following page the
most important 76 control variables that allow the user to interact with the transmission/distribution system are listed.
See the 76 control variables in next page.
3. Load System:
Once the energy is transported, this has to be carried to the consumption points through distribution lines. Final consumer provokes changes
in the power balance of the system from generation up to distribution. On this way, all machinery of the system (generation, transmission and
distribution) works in real time in order to the electrical parameters remain constants in the consumption points.
In the consumption points is very important to ensure the electrical energy quality through reactive energy compensation devices. Besides, on
this point are essential the feeders management protection relays, which are installed in strategic points of the distribution lines giving to the
grid the required reliability, safety and efficiency. These protection relays monitor electrical variables such as frequency, voltage, current,
power factor, etc. in order to protect the grid.
In the following page the most important 64 control variables which allow user to interact with the load system are listed.

INTRODUCTION
Due to electricity can not be stored in large quantities and economically not profitable, so that at each instant must be generated that is consumed. The
demanded electric power varies from day to day, so that the generation should follow the same temporal variation, keeping the nominal value of the
system frequency, 50 Hz, and other conditions that define the normal operating state of the power system, all with the economic objective of lower cost of
production.
For this purpose, the basic objective of the systems of regulation and control of generators installed in power plants generation is to ensure that the
demanded power meets continuously, maintaining continuity of supply and the operating parameters of the system within limits. This function is performed
automatically from the generators and control centers through automatic voltage regulation (AVR") and, above all, through automatic generation control
(AGC").
The AEL-MPSS-01 simulator has been developed to demonstrate how Smart Grids operate within the large power systems:
How electricity is generated?
How electricity is transported?
What happens when there is a change in the energy demand?
What protection systems are used in generation, transmission, distribution and consumption systems?
What happens when there is a fault anywhere in the power system? What is the proper configuration of the protection relays so that there is selectivity in
the power system?
How is carried out the regulation of the turbine and synchronous generator?
These and many other questions answers the Modular Smart Grid Power Systems Simulator, with automatic control generation, transmission line, loads
and protection relays, with SCADA.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AEL-MPSS-01 has been developed to study in depth the Smart Grid in Generation, Transmission/Distribution and Loads areas.
To facilitate the study of all characteristics issues, and many more, the AEL-MPSS-01 simulator is divided in three applications. Each application has been
developed to study in depth a different area of Smart Grids Power Systems:
- AEL-GCA-P-02S. Generation System with Automatic Control of Synchronous Generator, Synchronization and Protection Relays, with
SCADA.
- AEL-T-P-01S.
Transmission and Distribution Power Systems with Regulation Transformer and Protection Relays, with SCADA.
- AEL-C-P-02S.
Loads Systems with Automatic Power Factor Compensation and Protection Relays, with SCADA.
The AEL-MPSS-01 is one of the most comprehensive and advanced modular smart grid power systems simulator for the following reasons:
- The AEL-MPSS-01 integrates the most important Smart Grid technology in all elements that form the power system.
- In a single system we can study the operation of an entire power system, from energy is generated until it reaches the final consumer.
- The AEL-MPSS-01 is provided with 5 latest generation protection relays (renowned manufacturer Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories SEL) used in
real electrical substations that give to AEL-MPSS-01 a great authenticity.
- The AEL-MPSS-01 incorporates protection relays as the overcurrent protection relay, the differential protection relay for generators and transformers,
long distance protection relay and the protection relay for feeders, which make the system AEL-MPSS-01 a forefront unit in the field of Smart Grids.
- The AEL-MPSS-01 incorporates a sophisticated system of control and regulation of the turbine and synchronous generator that will allow the student to
know how carried out the control and regulation in large groups of power generation:
- Manual/automatic control and regulation of the generator voltage (Automatic Voltage Regulator).
- Manual/automatic control and regulation of the generator frequency (turbine control).
- Manual/automatic control and regulation of the power factor of the generator.
- The AEL-MPSS-01 incorporates an automatic reactive power compensation controller that acts autonomously according to the power factor of the
load.
- The SCADA System (Supervision, Control and Data Acquisition) whose description can be read below.
Note: AEL-MPSS-01 includes the workbenches and PC.
SCADA System description
The most innovative of the Modular Smart Grid Power Systems Simulator is that it includes SCADA (Supervision, Control and Data Acquisition System) that
shows the same behaviour of actual SCADA systems used in the actual power systems. The SCADA Software allows students to take full remote control of
the power system and perform all sorts of maneuvers from a synoptic that represents the national power grid. This software allows, among other options,
the following:
- Opening and closing actual logic of disconnect switches and circuit breakers.
- Manual and automatic control of the synchronous generator excitation.
- Manual and automatic control of the synchronous generator frequency.
- Manual and automatic power factor control of the synchronous generator.
- Manual and Automatic synchronization control of the synchronous generator with the mains.
- Faults injection in different parts of the system.
- Change in the energy demand of the system with automatic response of the turbine-generator group.
- Real time monitoring the status of disconnectors and circuit breakers.
- Real time monitoring system alarms when the electrical faults are injected.
- Measurement of active, reactive and apparent power at different points of the system.
- Measurement of voltage, current and power factor at different points of the system.
