Abstract :
This paper represents a new model of the Variable Frequency Transformer (VFT) usingMATLAB/SIMULINK. The VFT is used to connect two power systems. The simulations shown in the paper accurately represents the VFT´s dynamic characteristics. Based on this model, some further simulations are conducted to study VFT´s characteristics under fault conditions. The simulation results show that the VFT prevents the faults from spreading. Also the effect of the change of the frequency on VFT operation is provided.
