Abstract
The transition from Synchronous Generators (SGs) to Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs) has resulted in a wide array of problems in power systems. The dynamics of IBRs differ from the dynamics of SGs, which has impacted the impedance () trajectories seen by the distance relays during stable and unstable power swings. This study analyzes the impacts of different types of Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) of Grid Following (GFOL) photovoltaic (PV) inverters on the magnitude of the rate of change of positive sequence impedance used for detecting Stable Power Swings (SPS). The variations of trajectories with respect to the changes in control parameters of Synchronous Reference Frame PLL with additional Low pass filter (LSRF PLL), Multiple Reference Frame (MRF) PLL, and Dual Second-Order Generalized Integrator (DSOGI) PLL are also studied. The impacts of varying penetration of PV and relay locations are also investigated. A modified IEEE-39 bus system with GFOL PV is utilized for the studies. The PVs adhere to IEEE Standard and have Low Voltage Ride-Through (LVRT)/ High Voltage Ride-Through (HVRT) and dynamic voltage support capabilities. This study shows that the PLL parameters and bandwidth influence the operation/maloperation of the relays during SPS. Time-domain simulation results from PSCAD are validated with theoretical analysis.
