1. Electromagnetic Transient (EMT) Model of Large AI Data Center Load in PSCAD.
ERCOT Website: [Model Link] [User Manual]
If the ERCOT link does not work, the same models and user manual are also available here.
Key Features:
Facility-level data center models with a library of key modules, including rectifier, inverter, DC/DC converter, battery UPS system, cooling load, computing load, and associated controllers.
Embedded disturbance ride-through mechanisms, protection logic, operating mode transitions, and reconnection behaviors.
Both average models and switching models.
Per-unit representations that are scalable in power capacity.
Multiple test cases for evaluating voltage ride-through capability and load fluctuation responses.
