Real Power Modulation Strategies for Transient Stability Control

Abstract

Transient stability control of power systems is based on actions that are taken automatically following a disturbance to ensure that the system remains in synchronism. Examples of such measures include generator rejection and the insertion of dynamic braking resistors. Methods like these are designed to rapidly absorb excess energy or otherwise alter the generation-demand balance at key points in the system. While these methods are often effective, they lack the ability to inject real power to compensate for a deficit. Utility-scale inverter-based resources, particularly energy storage systems, enable bidirectional modulation of real power with the bandwidth necessary to provide synchronizing torque. These resources, and the control strategies they enable, have garnered substantial research interest. This paper provides a critical review of research on real power modulation strategies for transient stability control. The design of these control strategies is heavily informed by the methods used to assess changes in the transient stability margins. Rigorously assessing these changes is difficult because the dynamics of large-scale power systems are inherently nonlinear. The well-known equal-area criterion is physically intuitive, but conceptual extensions are necessary for multi-machine systems. So-called direct methods of transient stability analysis offer a more general alternative; however, these methods require many simplifying assumptions and have difficulty incorporating detailed system dynamics. In this paper, we discuss data-driven methods for offline stability assessment based on Koopman operator theory.
