The virtual inertia J in single-phase synchronverter (SPSV) can be designed specifically to improve system stability. However, J also relates to active power loop (APL) and reactive power loop (RPL) time constants, which restricts the flexibility of control parameters choice and increases the complexity of parameter design process. This paper proposes a method to increase SPSV overall inertia without...
The integration of wind power into the grid causes numerous stability and reliability issues due to its low inertia and intermittent nature. To ensure system stability, wind power production has to be restricted, which implies that the system cannot absorb the entire output available from wind generation, especially if the output is high. Consequently, the reliability of the integrated system is adversely...
In order to overcome the ever-challenging environmental issues such as the greenhouse gas emission, traditional energy sources are gradually being replaced by renewable energy sources. However, the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources leads to the decrease of power system inertia, as renewable sources barely contribute to inertial response. To tackle this problem, a hybrid energy storage...
Doubly Fed Induction Generators (DFIG), represent one the of the most employed technologies, for wind conversion systems. Due to the intermittent nature of wind, the conventional control used by these generators has the objective to operate at a point that ensures maximum power extraction of the wind turbine. However, using only this control philosophy, these generators do not participate in frequency...
This paper considers a biologically inspired source-seeking algorithm in the system of three-dimensional spatial tracking based on biologically inspired behaviour-based approaches. Tracking system is a flying robot, for example, unmanned aerial vehicle or a multicopter. The flying robot searches hazardous pollutants in dangerous environments. The task of the flying robot is to find the source of invisible...
Mathematical models of a mechanical system in the time and frequency areas, which are realized by various software complexes, are considered. The results of identification of the experimental amplitude-frequency characteristic using the software complex IMS-I are presented. It is established that the design analysis method, in which one natural frequency (one mode) is considered does not provide the...
In recent years power systems world-wide have seen large increases in wind power penetration and this trend is expected to continue. This is having the undesirable consequence of reducing the inertia of electrical power systems, especially at times of high wind generation. Reduced inertia makes a power system more susceptible to a larger rate of change of frequency (RoCoF) following a grid disturbance,...
Developments in renewable integration are continuously changing power system portfolios globally. Higher volatility of the networks might pose a threat to grid stability and thus increase the need for ancillary services. In this paper one such service — the provision of inertial frequency response (in short referred to as inertia) — is analyzed. An additional demand constraint is added to a SMIP (Stochastic...
In this work an overview to the dynamic model of Continental Europe from ENTSO-E, where the main characteristics are summarized and discussed, is introduced. Then, the response of the system to different parameter variations is presented. The objective of the analysis is to identify how the system reacts and evolve on time to fluctuation on standard parameters such as machine saturations, voltage...
The significant mechanical inertia of the rotor in a synchronous generator is crucial for facilitating the cooperative grid forming capability of multiple such generators on the transmission and distribution network. This paper demonstrates that the DC link capacitance in a PV inverter is the analogous form of inertia for such a system, albeit having much smaller magnitude. Furthermore it proposes...
As more renewable energy resources connected by power electronics and gas-fueled generators are integrated into power grids, total system inertia has been significantly decreasing in recent years. The resulting decline in system primary frequency response threatens the reliability and stability of power grids. This paper aims to study the locational dependence of the impacts of inertia on system primary...
The declining inertia on the GB grid as a result of the change in the generation mix poses a challenge in the operation and control of the future power system. This work analyses the inertia contribution of wind turbine generators to the GB power system and tests the effectiveness of supplementary controllers designed to provide inertia support as an ancillary service. A simplified three-machine representation...
The present study proposes an alternate approach to design and shape the Emulated Inertial Response (EIR) from Variable Speed Wind Turbines (VSWT) by exchanging its kinetic energy (KE) with the grid. Although, the KE released by the deceleration of VSWT can momentarily reduce the generation-demand difference, and thereby alleviate the frequency stability, limiting the effects of subsequent VSWT recuperation...
In the recent years, the disadvantages of the inverter based distributed energy resource, such as less inertia and lower available kinetic energy as compared to synchronous generator (SG), have been addressed by researchers. As a result, the virtual synchronous generator (VSG) or virtual synchronous machine (VSM) is suggested in literature. VSG controller allows the inverter to mimic the characteristic...
Rehabilitation is an important healing process to restore range of motion of joint and strength of muscle. Furthermore, robots are applied to increase the efficiency of the rehabilitation process. The basic functions of a rehabilitation robot are assistance and resistance modes. In both functions, gravity and friction compensation are the essential elements for controller design of each mode. The...
This paper proposes a new method to model wind generation in power system reliability evaluation that not only considers the uncertainty of wind speed and mechanical failures of wind turbines but also includes the impacts of wind's low inertia property. Due to the stochasticity and low inertia of wind generation, power system stability and reliability are significantly affected. When wind generators...
This paper presents an equivalent synchronous generator model (ESGM) of current-controlled (CC) voltage source converters (VSCs) for small signal stability analysis, addressing the pivotal dynamic of the universal phase-locked-loop (PLL). The virtual electromechanical swing process of PLL-based CC-VSC is revealed, which is utilized to emulates the behavior of traditional SG, and the ESGM (including...
Microgrids are subjected to limits on system voltage and frequency deviations, for transient and steady state operation. Similar to a conventional power system with rotating generators, inertia and damping of frequency are necessary for frequency profile and stability of an isolated microgrids. This work proposes an approach to analyze inertia and frequency damping coefficient for a system based on...
Replacing fossil fuel burning synchronous generation with asynchronous renewable generation to deliver environmental goals will significantly reduce system inertia. Reduced inertia allows a faster and larger frequency deviation after a disturbance and the reduction in inertia in GB will be significant enough in the next decade that the existing frequency control will be too slow to contain the frequency...
