Abstract
In 100% power electronics-based power system, small-signal synchronous instability can be trigged by interaction among distributed grid-forming converters (GFMCs). A novel small-signal synchronous stability analysis method is proposed. Firstly, a generic small-signal model for 100% power electronics-based power system is established. Then, a framework based on a dominated synchronization control loop is proposed, which can explicitly identify two main interaction paths stemming from voltage control and reactive power-voltage control. Furthermore, the two interaction paths have been simplified to first-order transfer functions through model reduction based on dominated modes. By integrating the selected synchronization control loop, a reduced second-order model that can provide clear physical insight into small-signal synchronous stability is derived. Finally, experimental results from an RT-LAB hardware-in-the-loop platform confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy (MPCE), commencing from June, 2013, is a newly established, peer-reviewed and quarterly published journal in English. It is the first international power engineering journal originated in mainland China. MPCE publishes original papers, short letters and review articles in the field of modern power systems with focus on smart grid technology and renewable energy integration, etc.
