Multi‐objective coordinated dispatch of high wind‐penetrated power systems against transient instability.

High‐level wind power penetration has significantly changed the power system's static and dynamic characteristics, which tends to decrease the overall system transient instability. This study proposes a multi‐objective preventive‐emergency coordinated control method against transient instability in the presence of uncertain wind power generation. This method optimally coordinates preventive control (PC) and emergency control (EC) to simultaneously minimise the total control cost and the expected stability margin. PC includes synchronous generator dispatch and wind farm power curtailment to reduce the overall percentage of renewable power to a safe level. EC adopts an emergency demand response scheme, in which the demand is immediately reduced for stabilising post‐contingency system and avoiding wide‐spread blackout. Wind power uncertainty is modelled through Taguchi's testing scenarios. The proposed method was verified on both New England 39‐bus system and Nordic‐32 system using industry‐grade dynamic models and simulation software. Simulation results verified that the proposed method can optimally balancing system control cost and system expected stability margin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
