Abstract
- • Developing impedance models of IBR and SM considering detailed control for stability analysis of severe grid conditions. • Adverse control interaction of SM/SC and GFL IBR may occur by high IBR penetration during system-split situations. • The low-frequency non-passivity of GFL IBR and SM/SC can adversely participate their control interaction. • Oscillation risk in SM and GFL IBR system can be mitigated by retuning their control, but may induce other stability issue. • Through changing part of the IBRs from GFL to GFM, both grid-support services and oscillatory stability can be ensured. Motivated by the potential transient oscillation risks in inverter based resource (IBR) dominated power systems, the paper is to identify the unwanted control interactions between traditional synchronous machines (SMs) and IBRs during system-split situations. Modal impedance analysis method is applied to reveal oscillation risk and the underlying mechanism, while electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation analysis is used to observe reliable oscillation phenomenon. Impedance models of IBRs considering both grid-following (GFL) and grid-forming (GFM) control schemes and SMs equipped with automatic voltage regulator (AVR) and power system stabilizer (PSS) are developed for grid conditions with large frequency and/or voltage deviations, and validated by EMT simulations. Potential adverse control interactions within an exemplary test system are analyzed taking into account the impacts of: 1) renewable penetration level; 2) converter control scheme (GFL or GFM); 3) converter control tuning; 4) SM control setting; 5) grid-support capabilities of converter-interfaced loads. It has been observed that oscillation instability at around several Hz can occur by high penetration of GFL controlled IBRs after system-splits, which can be mitigated by redesigning the AVR & PSS control, or retuning the power/voltage control loops and phase-locked loop (PLL) of GFL converter. However, such measures might inevitably induce other stability issues, e.g. synchronization instability. From the oscillation analysis, it has also been revealed, through replacing part of the GFL converters with GFM converter(s), the oscillation mode at several Hz can disappear, owning to the varied impedance including better damping of GFM than GFL for the frequencies between 1 and 10 Hz.
