Virtual Synchronous Generator

This study constructs a novel virtual synchronous generator system based on a transfer function, and optimizes the parameters of the model by using the improved whale algorithm to improve the frequency control ability of virtual synchronous generator. Virtual synchronous generator technology helps to solve the problem that the integration of large-scale renewable energy generation into the power system leads to the deterioration of system frequency stability. It can maintain the symmetry of grid-connected scale and system stability. The virtual synchronous generator technology makes the inverter to have the inertia and damping characteristics of a synchronous generator. The inverter has the inertia characteristics and damps to reduce the frequency instability of high penetration renewable energy power system. The improved whale algorithm is efficient to find the best combination of control parameters and the effectiveness of the algorithm is verified by microgrid and power system. The results show that the proposed frequency coordination control scheme suppresses the frequency deviation of power system and keep the system frequency in a reasonable range.

Increasing the proportion of renewable energy generations in remote island power systems is becoming essential for realizing decarbonized society. However, since inverter-connected renewable energies have different generation characteristics from conventional generators, the massive penetration can adversely affect system stability. In particular, fault events in such weak remote systems can cause fast voltage collapse, and there is a need to assess dynamic voltage stability. This study attempts dynamic voltage stability assessment using the critical boundary index (CBI) and investigates the impact of the virtual synchronous generator (VSG) on dynamic voltage stability. A remote island power system and VSG are modeled, and time-domain simulations are conducted with case studies of fault events. The simulation results show the potential of CBI to use for dynamic voltage stability assessment. Furthermore, the VSG can provide suitable power output during fault events and improve dynamic voltage stability.

The Impact

The output power of wind farms has significant randomness and variability, which results in adverse impacts on power system frequency stability. This paper extracts wind power fluctuation feature with the HHT (Hilbert-Huang Transform) method. Firstly, the original wind power data was decomposed into several IMFs (Intrinsic Mode Functions) and a tendency component by using the EMD (Empirical Mode Decomposition) method. Secondly, the instantaneous frequency of each IMF was calculated. On this basis, taking a WSCC 9-bus power system as benchmark, the impact on power system frequency caused by wind power fluctuation was simulated in a real-time simulation platform, and the key component which results in the frequency deviation was found. The simulation results validate the wind power fluctuation impacts on frequency deviation, underlying the following study on power system frequency stability under the situation of large-scale intermittent generation access into the grid.

Renewable energy curtailment often occurs to accommodate large amounts of renewable energy sources in power systems while maintaining system stability and reliability. Widely known methods, such as new transmission line construction, the introduction of demand-side resources, and the reduction of conventional generator output, can minimize the occurrence of curtailment; however, there are difficulties in introducing them because of social and economic problems. For these problems, the Jeju power system adopted a battery energy storage system (BESS) resource to mitigate the curtailment and secure frequency stability with the high penetration of renewable energy. The small-size Jeju island power system is operated with reliability must-run (RMR) units and high-voltage direct current (HVDC) lines connected to the mainland. Since the number of RMR units contributes to frequency stability by providing inertia, reducing the number of operating units for curtailment mitigation is difficult. Therefore, in this paper, based on the current “Carbon-Free island” policy and operation plan of the Jeju power system, we proposed a BESS for reducing the number of RMR units, observe the effect of reducing curtailment using the BESS, and suggest a practical operation plan to reduce the number of RMR units under conditions that secure frequency stability.

Virtual Synchronous Generator

Due to the extensive integration of renewable energy sources (RESs), i.e., photovoltaic (PV) system, the future power system is developing into an inverter-based system from a dominated alternator-based power system. This massive penetration of inverter-based PV system reduced the system inertia and damping characteristics of the power grid, impacting the fault ride-through (FRT) capability and causes frequency instability. Modern grid codes require that PV systems should work in the same way as conventional power plants and assist the system during transient state. However, most of the conventional inverter control mechanisms failed to fulfill the requirements of grid codes, especially when the penetration ratio of the PV system is close to the conventional unit. Therefore, this paper proposes a virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control mechanism of PV system inverter to augment FRT competency and frequency stability. The proposed VSG control system mimics the behavior of conventional power plants. To observe and evaluate the proposed controller behavior, simulation analyses were executed in the PSCAD/EMTDC software for both proposed and conventional controllers. The simulation results clearly indicate that the proposed VSG control system has sufficient damping characteristics to ensure FRT capability and frequency stability.
