Structured power system model reduction of non-coherent areas

Abstract

Abstract-This paper demonstrates how structured model reduction can be used to reduce the order of power systems without the need to identify coherent groups of generators. To this end the Klein-Rogers-Kundur 2-area system is studied in detail. It is shown how different modes of the system are captured as the model order is varied, which is of interest in e.g. distributed controller design, where the objective is to damp these oscillations. The power system is divided into a study area and an external area and the proposed algorithm is used to reduce the external area to a low order linear system, while retaining the nonlinear description of the study area. It is shown that this approach permits greater deviations from the steady-state than if a reduced system that is entirely linear is used, while still yielding accurate simulation results.Index Terms-Model reduction of power systems, internal systems, structured model reduction, dynamic equivalents

The Effect of FRT Behavior of VSC-HVDC-Connected Offshore Wind Power Plants on AC/DC System Dynamics

“…Machine and network equivalencing generally requires careful considerations [34], [35]. The VSCs in this system are assumed 1) to be connected closely together, 2) to bear equal control characteristics on network level, and 3) to have small time constants compared to synchronous machines.…”

Nonlinear model reduction of dynamical power grid models using quadratization and balanced truncation

“…Therefore, most research on model reduction of power grid models involves reduction of a linearized system or subsystem. Researchers have used, e.g., balanced truncation [1,2,8,22,35,37,[40][41][42][43][44]54], balanced residualization [32], Krylov methods [6,38,46,47], SVD-Krylov methods [17], proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) [48], singular perturbation theory [10,25,31], variants of clustering [7,14,49], and sparse approximations [23] to reduce such linearized models.…”
