The lack of inertia in this new generation increases the risk of low-frequency oscillatory events, a significant concern in power systems stability.

This paper delves into the analysis of three damping controllers: the power system stabilizers (PSS) installed in synchronous generators, and two Power Oscillation Damping (POD) controllers, one with active power modulation (POD-P) and the other with reactive power modulation (POD-Q), typically installed in environments with high renewable penetration.</div><div>The main objective is to critically evaluate the comparative advantages of PSS, POD-P, and POD-Q controllers in local and inter-area oscillations by exploring their flexibility and performance under various initial conditions and oscillatory scenarios.

This research is of utmost importance as it aims to dampen different oscillations by employing uniform control parameters in the PSS, POD-P, and POD-Q controllers. Five scenarios are defined on a system based on the IEEE 39 Bus New England System model and simulated by DIgSILENT PowerFactory.

To address this issue, we propose a fine-grained network decoupling method for doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based WFs. This paper first establishes the decoupling algorithm for core electrical equipment of DFIG-based WFs. By employing device-level fine-grained decoupling, the dimensionality of the admittance matrix for WF is effectively reduced, significantly decreasing the computational load.

However, with the increasingly interconnection of renewable energy, such as wind energy, onto transmission networks, non-adoption of commutation long transmission lines usually results in unbalanced line parameters. Therefore, developing reliable three-phase power flow algorithms for transmission and distribution (T&D) systems becomes more and more important for the reliable and safe operation of emerging power systems. Among the many three-phase power flow algorithms, Newton Raphson method (NRM) and its variants occupy a large share, due to their ability in dealing with multiple sources and looped sub-networks. However, they are sensitive to the initial value, and can hardly ensure convergence to a physically meaningful solution with improper initial values, especially for three-phase unbalanced system. To this end, a general three-phase power flow method for T&D systems is proposed based on the holomorphic embedding method (HEM), and the advantages of the proposed method compared with traditional NRM in solving the power flow problem to a physically meaningful solution are theoretically analyzed.

Considering the current method of modelling nonlinear fluids, the final impact on the performance of multiple assessments is non-convex for different partitioning approaches. This paper proposes a multi-objective distributed state estimation design approach for an integrated energy system based on non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II and unscented Kalman filter. The integrated energy system model contains the electric-gas-thermal system and various coupled units. By comparing and evaluating the estimation accuracy, calculation time and economic indicators of the system with different partitions of the system load, the optimal Pareto solution set are obtained from the multi-objective optimisation, which then guides the construction layout to satisfy different application requirements. In situations where the specific requirements are not clear, this paper gives the operator an objective method recommendation with the help of the entropy weight and Topsis synthesis assessment method. The validity of the method is verified by several case studies, and the method not only assists the estimation of the existing integrated energy system, but it also offers engineering significance in guiding the construction of the future integrated energy system.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems","volume":"162 ","pages":"Article 110291"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142441788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Especially, in a three-phase symmetrical fault scenario, the inrush current may damage the converter and the VSG would lose synchronization with the grid. To address these issues, this paper presents a novel fault ride through (FRT) strategy. First, the transient behaviours of VSGs, including transient current characteristics and power angle characteristics are analysed, which reveals that the increase of the power angle would aggravate the inrush current. Thus, an angular frequency dynamic compensation (AFDC) strategy is proposed to eliminate the instability of power angle. Then, this paper presents a current-limiting strategy combining virtual impedance (VI) and reference voltage adjustment to limit the fault current to a safe level.
