The decommissioning of synchronous generators, and their replacement by decoupled renewable power plants, has a significant impact on the transient stability performance of a power system. This paper concerns with an investigation of the degree of transient stability enhancement that can be achieved in power systems with high shares (e.g., around 75%) of wind generation. It is considered that the wind generators can work either under the principle of current control or under the principle of fast local voltage control. In both cases, a power–angle modulation (PAM) controller is superimposed on the current control loops of the grid side converters of the wind generators. The investigation of the degree of enhancement takes into account different approaches of the tuning of PAM. It considers a simple approach in the form of parametric sensitivity, and also a sophisticated approach in the form of a formal optimization problem. Besides, the paper gives insight on what is a suitable objective function of the optimization problem, which entails the best performance of PAM. The whole investigation is conducted based on a synthetic model of the Great Britain (GB) system

During the last few years, electric power systems have undergone a widespread shift from conventional fossil-based generation toward renewable energy-based generation. Variable speed wind generators utilizing full-scale power electronics converters are becoming the preferred technology among other types of renewable-based generation, due to the high flexibility to implement different control functions that can support the stabilization of electrical power systems. This paper presents a fundamental study on the enhancement of transient stability in electrical power systems with increasing high share (i.e., above 50%) of power electronic interfaced generation. The wind generator type IV is taken as a representative form of power electronic interfaced generation, and the goal is to investigate how to mitigate the magnitude of the first swing while enhancing the damping of rotor angle oscillations triggered by major electrical disturbances. To perform such mitigation, this paper proposes a power-angle modulation (PAM) controller to adjust the post-fault active power response of the wind generator type IV, after a large disturbance occurs in the system. Based on a small size system, the PAM concept is introduced. The study is performed upon time-domain simulations and analytical formulations of the power transfer equations. Additionally, the IEEE 9 BUS system and the test model of Great Britain’s system are used to further investigate the performance of the PAM controller in a multi-machine context, as well as to perform a comparative assessment of the effect of different fault locations, and the necessary wind generators that should be equipped with PAM controllers.

The Impact

Power system stability is related to principles of rotational motion and the swing equation governing the electromechanical dynamic behavior. In the special case of two finite machines the equal area criterion of stability can be used to calculate the critical clearing angle on the power system, it is necessary to maintain synchronism, otherwise a standard of service to the consumers will not be achieved. With the increasing penetration of doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs), the impact of the DFIG on transient stability attracts great attention. Transient stability is largely dominated by generator types in the power system, and the dynamic characteristics of DFIG wind turbines are different from that of the synchronous generators in the conventional power plants. The analysis of the transient stability on DFIG integrated power systems has become a very important issue. This paper is a review of three types of stability condition. The first type of stability, steady state stability explains the maximum steady state power and the power angle diagram. There are several methods to improve system stability in which some methods are explained.

The grid integration of renewable energy sources interfaced through power electronic converters is undergoing a significant acceleration to meet environmental and political targets. The rapid deployment of converters brings new challenges in ensuring robustness, transient stability, among others. In order to enhance transient stability, transmission system operators established network grid code requirements for converter-based generators to support the primary control task during faults. A critical factor in terms of implementing grid codes is the control strategy of the grid-side converters. Grid-forming converters are a promising solution which could perform properly in a weak-grid condition as well as in an islanded operation. In order to ensure grid code compliance, a wide range of transient stability studies is required. Time-domain simulations are common practice for that purpose. However, performing traditional monolithic time domain simulations (single solver, single domain) on a converter-dominated power system is a very complex and computationally intensive task. In this paper, a co-simulation approach using the mosaik framework is applied on a power system with grid-forming converters. A validation workflow is proposed to verify the co-simulation framework. The results of comprehensive simulation studies show a proof of concept for the applicability of this co-simulation approach to evaluate the transient stability of a dominant grid-forming converter-based power system.

The Impact

The article is devoted to the development of the mathematical models of modern devices of flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) when calculating the modes and stability of power systems and to the analysis of influence of the specified devices on transient stability of the generators. The considered scheme contains the generators with the gas turbine drive that have electromechanical parameters providing lower level of transient stability compared to units of higher power rating, which in some cases requires implementation of measures for transient stability enhancement. As examples of FACTS the following devices have been considered: compensating device based on voltage- sourced converter (STATCOM), static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) and the unified power flow controller (UPFC). The known examples of mathematical models of FACTS devices vary in complexity. For a preliminary assessment of the effectiveness of the FACTS devices, it is proposed to use simplified models that adequately reflect their impact on transients. The use of models made it possible to establish a positive impact of the devices on transient stability of generating equipment in case of short circuits in the electric network. The important conclusion here is that the use of the UPFC device based on two converters (with a corresponding increase in cost) compared to one converter device (STATCOM or SSSC) slightly increases the level of transient stability and the limit time of short circuit disconnection. The proposed method of simulating the FACTS devices is suitable for numerical calculations of transient processes in electric power systems, in particular, to estimate the impact on the transient stability level of the parallel operation of power plants in case of disturbances.

Fractional Orders

In recent decades, various types of control techniques have been proposed for use in power systems. Among them, the use of a proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller is widely recognized as an effective technique. The generalized type of this controller is the fractional-order PID (FOPID) controller. This type of controller provides a wider range of stability area due to the fractional orders of integrals and derivatives. These types of controllers have been significantly considered as a new approach in power engineering that can enhance the operation and stability of power systems. This paper represents a comprehensive overview of the FOPID controller and its applications in modern power systems for enhancing low-frequency oscillation (LFO) damping. In addition, the performance of this type of controller has been evaluated in a benchmark test system. It can be a driver for the development of FOPID controller applications in modern power systems. Investigation of different pieces of research shows that FOPID controllers, as robust controllers, can play an efficient role in modern power systems.

Scholars are motivated to work in the field of renewable energy systems (RESs) especially on grid-connected wind generators because of the exciting and noticeable developments going on in this area. This progress is utilized to obtain the maximal, efficient, and stable electric power from the RESs and integrating it into existing systems to improve its efficiency, stability, reliability, and overall power quality. Recently, permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs) have become the main pillar of advanced wind systems thanks to their fascinating pluses over other types of wind generators. This paper presents the up-to-date trends in converter topologies, control approaches, maximal power production methods, and grid integration issues for PMSG-based wind systems. The performed statistical analyses assure the dominance of the two-level back-to-back converter among the studied power converter topologies, field-oriented control method for the machine side converter, voltage oriented control method for the grid side converter control, perturb and observe algorithm amongst the studied maximum power point techniques, and fault ride-through capability out of grid integration issues. Further, recent general trends in technological advancements for PMSG wind system components are illustrated as a pie chart in terms of percentage figures. It is expected that the researchers working in this field would benefit from this article in terms of the presented state-of-the-art statistical analyses and its related literature given in this study.
