This study presents a literature review on the concept of power system flexibility in terms of its definition, indices, algorithms, implementation, economic impacts, operational impacts, and security. Although there are tremendous reviews on this subject in the literature, each paper discusses specific aspects of flexibility. Moreover, the literature is devoid of a comprehensive review of the latest improvements in terms of implementation, operation, and economics, which are addressed by the collections presented in this study. This paper, therefore, surveys some improvements that have been made in recent decades. Furthermore, we highlight the impact of the high penetration of renewable energy and energy storage systems towards enhancing the improvement of power system flexibility.

“…From the external power grid side, an RSSG-SPC can be analyzed from tow technical viewpoints: (i) electromechanical performance and (ii) electrical characteristics (see Section 4). From the electromechanical point of view, due to the utilization of SPC technique and especially electromechanical block, the internal dynamics of RSSG-SPC can be analyzed as depicted in Figure 6 and expressed in Equations ( 1)- (6). Based on the Figure 6, the internal dynamics of RSSG-SPC has two degrees of dynamic freedom which provides the required dynamics for emulation of synchronous generator through voltage source converters inside the RSSG-SPC.…”

“…Nowadays, the researchers are trying to expand this adaptability from both technical and economic point of view [5]. From the technical point of view, grid operators expect that renewables should not only have proper adaptability with the classic part of the system, but it is also expected to solve some challenges of the power grid [6]. Some of the expected challenges include the contribution of renewables in the stability of power network, such as power and frequency stability [7], as well as voltage and reactive power support [8].…”

Electromechanical Design of Synchronous Power Controller in Grid Integration of Renewable Power Converters to Support Dynamic Stability

et al. 2021

Nowadays, modern power converters installed in renewable power plants can provide flexible electromechanical characteristics that rely on the developed control technologies such as Synchronous Power Controller (SPC). Since high renewable penetrated power grids result in a low-inertia system, this electromechanical characteristic provides support to the dynamic stability of active power and frequency in the power generation area. This goal can be achieved through the proper tuning of virtual electromechanical parameters that are embedded in the control layers of power converters. In this paper, a novel mathematical pattern and strategy have been proposed to adjust dynamic parameters in Renewable Static Synchronous Generators controlled by SPC (RSSG-SPC). A detailed dynamic modeling was obtained for a feasible design of virtual damping coefficient and virtual moment of inertia in the electrometrical control layer of RSSG-SPC’s power converters. Mathematical solutions, modal analysis outcomes, time-domain simulation results, and real-time validations of the test in IEEE-14B benchmark confirm that the proposed method is an effective procedure for the dynamic design of RSSG-SPC to provide these dynamic stability supports in grid connection.

“…To avoid stability issues in power systems with extensive penetration of wind energy systems, the transmission system operators are enforcing stringent grid-codes to prevent the disconnection of large WECSs during low-voltage faults in the grid. A summary of grid-codes for several countries is reported in [96,97], and some grid-code requirements are illustrated in Figure 10. Notice that the allowed depth and duration of the voltage fault, before disconnection of the WECS, might vary from country to country.…”

An Overview of Applications of the Modular Multilevel Matrix Converter

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The modular multilevel matrix converter is a relatively new power converter topology suitable for high-power alternating current (AC)-to-AC applications. Several publications in the literature have highlighted the converter capabilities, such as full modularity, fault-redundancy, control flexibility and input/output power quality. However, the topology and control of this converter are relatively complex to realise, considering that the converter has a large number of power-cells and floating capacitors. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, there are no review papers where the applications of the modular multilevel matrix converter are discussed. Hence, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art of the modular multilevel matrix converter, focusing on implementation issues and applications. Guidelines to dimensioning the key components of this converter are described and compared to other modular multilevel topologies, highlighting the versatility and controllability of the converter in high-power applications. Additionally, the most popular applications for the modular multilevel matrix converter, such as wind turbines, grid connection and motor drives, are discussed based on analyses of simulation and experimental results. Finally, future trends and new opportunities for the use of the modular multilevel matrix converter in high-power AC-to-AC applications are identified.
