Identification of Critical Parameters Affecting Voltage and Angular Stability Considering Load-Renewable Generation Correlations

Abstract

The renewable energy source based generating technologies and flexible demand and storage devices exhibit significant temporal and spatial uncertainties in generating and loading profiles and introduce additional level of uncertainty in network operation. The dynamic behaviours of such a network can be affected and the stable operation may be compromised. This paper proposes a probabilistic analysis approach for the evaluation of the effect of uncertain parameters on power system voltage and angular stability. Load margin, the damping of critical eigenvalues and the transient stability index (TSI) have been chosen as the relevant stability indices for voltage stability, small-disturbance stability and transient stability analysis, respectively. The Morris screening sensitivity analysis method coupled with a multivariate Gaussian copula to account for parameter correlations is used for the priority ranking of uncertain parameters. The approach is illustrated on a number of case studies using modified IEEE 68-bus NETS-NYPS test system. The results obtained in this paper reveal that the critical parameters appear as groups if the input dataset is correlated, and hence even a parameter (which may be uninfluential individually) can have a significant impact on system dynamic behaviour due to its correlation with other influential parameters.

Dynamic Voltage Signature of Large Scale PV Enriched Streesed Power System

“…Several research papers have reported the dynamic voltage stability issue by considering load dynamic and dynamic VAr compensation [4]- [6]. Despite there being many works (many others not mentioned for brevity) regarding voltage stability assessment and corrective measures, very few reported the post fault dynamic voltage signature.…”

Examination of Effective VAr With Respect to Dynamic Voltage Stability in Renewable Rich Power Grids

“…In the modern power system, stability is only determined by the physical characteristics of SGs. Such a system increasingly relies on the complex control of renewable generation, the range of system operating conditions, and the grid code by the transmission system operators (TSOs) [3].. Several studies have reported the dynamic voltage stability characteristics by considering load dynamics and dynamic VAr compensations [4][5][6]. The primary reason for dynamic voltage instability in the system is the lack of reactive power support during the disturbances.…”

Adaptive fuzzy based optimized proportional‐integral controller to mitigate the frequency oscillation of multi‐area photovoltaic thermal system

“…LFC is an imperative area in the field of power systems. In literature, extensive work has been done for minimizing the frequency fluctuations due to load variations that lead to strained system and can potentially cause power system breakout 4 . Frequency is the core parameter which needs to be maintained for a reliable supply to the load.…”
