The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources in power grids highlights the role of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) in enhancing the stability and reliability of electricity. A key challenge with the renewables’, specially the BESSs, integration into the power system is the lack of proper dynamic models and their application in power system analyses. The control design strategy mainly depends on the system dynamics which underlines the importance of the system accurate dynamic modeling. Moreover, control design for the power system is a complicated issue due to its complexity and inter-connectivity, which makes the application of distributed control to improve the stability of a large-scale power system inevitable. This paper presents an optimal distributed control design for the interconnected systems to suppress the effects of small disturbances in the power system employing utility-scale batteries based on existing battery models. The control strategy is applied to two dynamic models of the battery: hybrid model and Western electricity coordinating council (WECC) model. The results show that (i) the smart scheduling of the batteries’ output reduces the inter-area oscillations and improves the stability of the power systems; (ii) the hybrid model of the battery is more user-friendly compared to the WECC model in power system analyses.

The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources in power grids highlights the role of battery energy stor- age systems (BESSs) in enhancing the stability and reliability of electricity. A key challenge with the renewables’, specially the BESSs, integration into the power system is the lack of proper dynamic model for stability analysis. Moreover, a proper control design for the power system is a complicated issue due to its complexity and inter-connectivity. Thus, the application of decentralized control to improve the stability of a large- scale power system is inevitable, especially in distributed energy sources (DERs). This paper presents an optimal distributed hybrid control design for the interconnected systems to suppress the effects of small disturbances in the power system employing utility-scale batteries based on existing battery models. The results show that i) the smart scheduling of the batteries’ output reduces the inter-area oscillations and improves the stability of the power systems; ii) the hybrid model of the battery is more user-friendly compared to the Western electricity coordinating council (WECC) model in power system analysis.

The ancillary services are essential in the power Systems operation, historically this services haven’t been regulated in any way in Honduras. There have been changes recently into the regulatory framework in the entire electricity sector alongside the large-scale injection of photovoltaic and wind powered centrals in the System. Considering these scenarios, the ancillary services become a necessity in terms of the operation for the power system and the stability associated with it. In this paper, we analyze the technical and economic aspects related to the frequency control, voltage control and blackstart services, we compare the services provided in different countries and how it is possible to adapt the successful cases to the Honduran power system.

Abstract The dominant trend of the modern energy is the use of generating plants based on renewable energy sources, among which the most common is a wind power plant based on doubly fed induction generator (Type 3 WT). The large-scale introduction of Type 3 WT into the modern power systems significantly changes their dynamic properties. There are problems with ensuring the basic condition of the reliability and the survivability of power systems – the stability. The study and solution of the indicated problems is possible only with the help of the mathematical modeling of a large-scale power systems which is currently being carried out with the help of widespread purely numerical software tools of calculations of modes and processes, which are characterized by various simplifications and limitations. For the properties and capabilities of software tools for studying stability issues, mathematical models of Type 3 WT, the so-called generic models, which also have simplifications and limitations, are adapted. In this article, the reliability of stability calculations of a real power system with Type 3 WT using software tools was evaluated, which allows to identify the influence of the applied simplifications and restrictions with a purely numerical approach on the quality of solving problems of assessing the stability of power systems with Type 3 WT. Also, the studies made it possible to identify the areas of the application of generic models of Type 3 WT as a part of the model of the real dimension power system, at which the greatest and least errors arise, as well as their causes. Such a comprehensive assessment becomes feasible due to the alternative approach proposed in the article, based on the use of a detail benchmark tool model instead of the full-scale data to compare the results of modeling.

Nowadays, the power systems are getting more and more complicated because of the delays introduced by the communication networks. The existence of the delays usually leads to the degradation and/or instability of power system performance. On account of this point, the traditional load frequency control (LFC) approach for power system sketches a destabilizing impact and an unacceptable system performance. Therefore, this paper proposes a new LFC based on adaptive integral second-order sliding mode control (AISOSMC) approach for the large-scale power system with communication delays (LSPSwCD). First, a new linear matrix inequality is derived to ensure the stability of whole power systems using Lyapunov stability theory. Second, an AISOSMC law is designed to ensure the finite time reachability of the system states. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time the AISOSMC is designed for LFC of the LSPSwCD. In addition, the report of testing results presents that the suggested LFC based on AISOSMC can not only decrease effectively the frequency variation but also make successfully less in mount of power oscillation/fluctuation in tie-line exchange.

Various renewable energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaic (PV) have been increasingly integrated into the power system through power electronic converters in recent years. However, power electronic converter-driven stability issues under specific circumstances, for instance, modal resonances might deteriorate the dynamic performance of the power systems or even threaten the overall stability. In this paper, the integration impact of a hybrid renewable energy source (HRES) system on modal interaction and converter-driven stability is investigated in an IEEE 16-machine 68-bus power system. Firstly, an HRES system is introduced, which consists of full converter-based wind power generation (FCWG) and full converter-based photovoltaic generation (FCPV). The equivalent dynamic models of FCWG and FCPV are then established, followed by the linearized state-space modeling. On this basis, converter-driven stability analyses are performed to reveal the modal resonance mechanisms of the interconnected power systems and the modal interaction phenomenon. Additionally, time-domain simulations are conducted to verify effectiveness of dynamic models and support the converter-driven stability analysis results. To avoid detrimental modal resonances, an optimization strategy is further proposed by retuning the controller parameters of the HRES system. The overall results demonstrate the modal interaction effect between external AC power system and the HRES system and its various impacts on converter-driven stability.

Nowadays, haze has become a big trouble in our society. One of the significant solutions is to introduce renewable energy on a large scale. How to ensure that power system can adapt to the integration and consumption of new energy very well has become a scientific issue. A smart generation control which is called hierarchical and distributed control based on virtual wolf pack strategy is explored in this study. The proposed method is based on multiagent system stochastic consensus game principle. Meanwhile, it is also integrated into the new win-lose judgment criterion and eligibility trace. The simulations, conducted on the modified power system model based on the IEEE two-area load frequency control and Hubei power grid model in China, demonstrate that the proposed method can obtain the optimal collaborative control of AGC units in a given regional power grid. Compared with some smart methods, the proposed one can improve the closed-loop system performances and reduce the carbon emission. Meanwhile, a faster convergence speed and stronger robustness are also achieved.

The power systems in European Union operate under energy policies where the greenhouse gases reduction, the increase of the share of renewable energy sources (RES) and the improvements in energy efficiency are the main objectives. Polish energy sector is currently based on inefficient usage of coal and must be transformed according to the requirements of EU energy and climate policy. A policy framework for climate and energy in the period from 2020 to 2030 established the target of 27% of share of RES in energy consumption. With the continuing increase in the use of RES, it is likely that more and more generation will have to be curtailed to maintain the stability of the power system which was not originally designed to integrate renewable generation. In this context, the conversion of renewable electricity to heat in connection with its storage in district heating systems, known as Power-to-Heat (PtH) can be considered as a viable option in increasing the share of RES and facilitating the stability of the power system. In this paper an attempt is made to estimate the potential of PtH technology for Poland up to 2030, including the high RES share scenario for the energy mix development.

AbstractIn renewable penetrated power systems, frequency instability arises due to the volatile nature of renewable energy sources (RES) and load disturbances. The traditional load frequency control (LFC) strategy from conventional power sources (CPS) alone unable to control the frequency deviations caused by the aforementioned disturbances. Therefore, it is essential to modify the structure of LFC, to handle the disturbances caused by the RES and load. With regards to the above problem, this work proposes a novel coordinated LFC strategy with modified control signal to have Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) for frequency stability enhancement of the Japanese power system. Where, the coordinated control strategy is based on the PID controller, which is optimally tuned by the recently developed JAYA Algorithm (JA). Numerous simulations are performed with the proposed methodology and, the results have confirmed the effectiveness of a proposed approach over some recent and well-known techniques in literature. Furthermore, simulation results reveal that the proposed coordinated approach significantly minimizing the frequency deviations compared to the JAYA optimized LFC without PHEVs & with PHEVs but no coordination.

Converter-based generators (CBGs) that use renewable energy sources (RESs) are replacing traditional aging coal and nuclear power generators. Increasing the penetration of CBGs into the entire power generation process reduces both the inertia constant of the power system and the total amount of power reserves. Additionally, RESs are very intermittent and it is difficult to predict changes in them. These problems, due to CBGs using RESs, pose new challenges to net–load balancing. As a solution, this paper proposes a virtual multi-slack (VMS) droop control that secures the stability and efficiency of system operation by controlling the output of CBGs distributed in various regions. The VMS droop control makes it possible to increase the inertia constant of the power system and to respond quickly and appropriately to load changes through the proposed VMS droop control based on power sensitivity. It is also proposed that the process selects proper power reserves of CBGs for stable VMS droop control. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed VMS droop control and the proper power reserve selection method for CBGs, several case studies were performed using a real Korean power system.
