Transient stability analysis is performed to assess the power system's condition after a severe contingency and is carried out using simulations. To adequately assess the system's transient stability, the correct dynamic models for the machines (i.e., generators, condensers, and motors) along with their dynamic parameters must be defined. The IEEE test systems contain the data required for steady-state...
An Intentional Controlled Islanding (ICI) algorithm based on an exact Mixed Integer Programming Formulation (MILP) was previously proposed and tested using IEEE test systems. The proposed algorithm directly determines an islanding solution with minimal power-flow disruption for any given number of islands, while ensuring that each island contains only coherent generators. However, since one or more...
Power systems are prone to cascading outages leading to large-scale blackouts. Intentional controlled islanding (ICI) is an effective corrective control action that limits the consequences of these catastrophic events by splitting the system into smaller sustainable islands. This paper proposes an ICI algorithm based on an exact Mixed Integer Linear Programming Formulation (MILP) that directly determines...
A Renewable Energy Source (RES), enhanced with Fault Ride Through (FRT) capability, can provide proper voltage and frequency support to the power grid under several disturbances. This paper investigates how a realistic dynamic power system with high penetration of RES reacts under different operating conditions. More specifically, the power system operation when RES operates according to the current...
The Fault Ride Through (FRT) capability of renewable energy sources (RES) for providing support to the power grid under several disturbances allows us to consider them not only as passive elements in the power system network, but also as ancillary services for the mitigation of evolving contingencies. In this paper, an investigation of the FRT operation of RES according to current grid regulations...
This paper presents a two-step approach for defining coherent generators in disturbed power systems based on the similarity among their inter-area oscillations and swing curves. In the first step, an online visualization of the generator swing curves is performed by extracting time domain solutions of the swing equation using PMU measurements. In the second step, the similarity between each pair of...
The integration of renewable energy sources in power systems has steadily increased in the recent years in the vision of significantly decreasing the carbon emissions produced by the conventional power plants. Although the incorporation of the renewable energy sources in the power system network is environmentally beneficial, at the same time it poses some challenges regarding their smooth operation...
Wide area blackouts can be caused by unexpected fault scenarios, in particular protection maloperation, or simultaneous low probability events, which as such might lead to e.g., un-damped electromechanical oscillations. A Spectral Clustering Controlled Islanding (SCCI) method to find a suitable islanding solution for preventing such events was previously proposed and tested using different IEEE test...
