Abstract
An electric power system emulator apparatus includes a plurality of nodes arrayed in first and second dimensions and a plurality of transmission path emulator circuits, respective ones of which are configured to be connected between adjacent ones of the nodes in the first and second dimensions. The apparatus further includes a control circuit configured to control the transmission path emulator circuits to emulate transmission paths of an electric power system. The control circuit may be configured to control the transmission path emulator circuits to emulate transmission lines and/or transformers. The transmission path emulator circuits may include respective power electronics converter circuits. The apparatus may further include source/load emulator circuits configured to be coupled to the nodes.
