Nevertheless, the comprehensive transient operation analysis under large disturbances remains a critical issue, owing to the challenges in the analysis and characterisation of high-order nonlinear VSC systems. In this regard, a coupling-factor-based nonlinear decoupling (CFND) method is proposed in this paper. Firstly, by evaluating the correlation degree between state variables with coupling factors, the original nonlinear high-order system can be divided into multiple decoupled first- or second-order cubic modes, which can facilitate the transient stability analysis. Secondly, with the proposed CFND method, the full-order large-signal model of LCL-filtered grid-connected VSCs is created to analyse the transient stability under grid fault conditions. It is revealed that increasing phase-locked loop (PLL) bandwidth and decreasing current loop bandwidth are unfavourable to the transient stability. Besides, decreasing the active current reference or increasing the reactive current reference is beneficial for transient stability during the low voltage ride-through (LVRT) process. Finally, the effectiveness of the stability analysis results is verified through hardware-in-loop (HIL) experiments.</p>","PeriodicalId":55000,"journal":{"name":"IET Renewable Power Generation","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/rpg2.70090","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144473180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent publications have shown the general feasibility of grid-forming WPPs for black-starting HVDC links, but focus on single aspects of the energization or rely on simplified wind farm, converter, or control models. Until now, important aspects such as the influence of converter or WPP design, as well as a derivation of the requirements posed on the different components for each step of the black-start have not yet been analysed. This paper fills these gaps through an in-depth analysis of the entire energization process, considering different startup methods with a close-to-real converter design. From the investigations, technical requirements for black-start capable HVDC-connected offshore WPPs are derived.

It reduces bottlenecks in the power grid and also reduces the dependency from hydro and thermal power plants for the optimal power flow management. Worldwide, at least a 20% penetration of distributed RESs is considered necessary over the next decade. The intermittent nature of RESs results in systems with delays in dynamics, non-linearties, power quality issues, etc. Over the last few decades, power quality issues have become increasingly important in grid-connected renewable energy systems. In addition to the intermittent nature of RESs, the widespread use of non-linear electronic devices further complicates the problem. With the advent of power electronic converters with robust control technology, RESs can be massively connected to the grid for power supply or used as stand-alone systems in remote location. Using more efficient control strategies not only improves the performance of these systems, but also improves power quality during generation, distribution, and consumption on the consumer side of utility systems.</p><p>The ever-declining fossil fuel resources and the increasing concerns for the environment have led to intensive research into the generation and use of RESs. Innovative processes for generating and using renewable energy are becoming increasingly attractive. Many applications integrate renewable energy sources into existing utility grids, micro-grids, or isolated loads. Power electronics and drives are one of the most important components of modern renewable energy system applications. Increased efficiency and electro-mechanical robustness of power semiconductors can improve many types of power conversion and generation.

The annual and seasonal components are repeating cycles, while the trend and residual components are time-dependent stochastic time series. To build the mathematical model for trend and residual components, the mixed Gaussian distribution model is applied to simulate the probabilistic distribution of trend and residual components. Based on these probabilistic distribution functions, the Ito stochastic process is applied to generate massive time series considering the stochastic and temporal dependent characteristics of the primal time series. A discretization formulation of the Ito stochastic process is provided so that the Ito stochastic process can be applied in renewable energy time series generation. The relationship between the drift and diffusion function used in the Ito stochastic process is depicted.
