A study of small signal behavior of power systems including wind generation units and energy capacitor systems (ECSs) is presented in this paper. Modeling of wind units with squirrel-cage induction generators connected to power system through a full-scale AC/AC converter and ECS unit are explained thoroughly. The ECS unit (considered in this paper) consists of electric double-layer capacitors (EDLC) and DC/AC converter. Small signal behavior of three test systems are studied and compared with one another using digital computer simulations. The three systems are: S1) WSCC 9-bus system with three conventional synchronous generators (SGs), S2) the WSCC system with one of the conventional SGs replaced by a wind energy system, and S3) the same as S2) but with the addition of an ECS unit. The study includes comparing of dominant eigenvalues, the participant state variables, and the related participation factors for the three systems. In addition, the effects of loading on the unstable modes of the system with conventional SG, wind and ECS units (system S3) are studied using the trajectory of these modes as loads are increased.Index Terms-Dynamic model, dynamic studies, energy capacitor system, wind units.
In our recent work [1] we constructed a reduced-order model of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) power system using mathematically derived parameters from real Synchrophasor data. These parameters include inter and intra-area impedances, inertias, and damping factors for aggregate synchronous generators representing five geographical, and yet coherent, areas of WECC. In this paper we use this reduced-order model as a tool to design a supplementary controller for a Static VAr Compensator (SVC), located at the terminal bus of one of the aggregate generators. Widearea feedback consisting of phase angle and frequency measurements from Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) in the other areas is used to design this controller. The objective is to damp the inter-machine oscillation modes of the reduced-order model, which in the full-order system corresponds to inter-area oscillations. The controller input is chosen via statistical variance analysis, and its parameters are tuned to improve the damping factors of the slow modes. The model is implemented in a real-time digital simulator, and validated using a wide range of disturbance scenarios. The closed-loop system is observed to be highly robust to all of these disturbances as well as the
This paper presents dynamic analysis of multimachine power systems with large penetration of Photovoltaic (PV) units. The actual non-linear characteristics of the PV-units is included in the modeling of the overall power system and the influence of this non-linear dynamics is studied through various simulations. These simulations (performed in MATLAB Simulink software package) are applied on a modified IEEE 30bus system, where one of the major generators is replaced by a large PV power plant. Three case studies are considered. From these studies it is concluded that large penetration of PV-units deteriorates the dynamics of the overall system.
