Power System Dynamic And Stability Issues In Modern Power Systems Facing Energy Transition

Dynamic stability basically deals with the interactions between the system's components. Following a disturbance, the system's variables undergo transitions that can induce oscillations in active and reactive power generation, resulting in the occurrence of voltage oscillatory modes and frequency deviation in the system. Depending on the entity of the disturbance, the small- or large-signal stability of the system under consideration can be investigated. The introduction of RES-based generation that does not participate in the network services (i.e., frequency and voltage regulation) due to lack of special controls will undoubtedly affect both the overall frequency and voltage stability. Large-scale transient stability is also a concern not to be overlooked: inverter-based wind and solar generation have different angle/speed swing behaviors with respect to traditional generation due to reduced inertia, different voltage swing behaviors due to different voltage control systems, different power flow patterns, and different displacements of synchronous generation at key locations. Therefore, although power system stability and dynamics have played a very central role in the management and study of electrical power systems thus far, it is also true that the emerging scenario requires new methodologies, technologies, and analyses. In this light, the current Special Issue aims to collect contributions (i.e., research papers and review articles) on power system dynamics and stability from experts in academia and industry.

This book presents innovative techniques and approaches to maintaining dynamic security of modern power systems that have a high penetration of renewable energy sources (RESs). The authors propose a number of frequency control strategies and schemes to address and evade stability problems in system frequency and voltage that can lead to power interruption and power failure/blackout. The book includes case studies aimed at validating the effectiveness of the techniques and strategies presented, and will be a valuable resource for researchers working in electrical power engineering, power system stability, dynamics and control, and microgrids.

Updated with the latest developments and advances, the second edition of The Electric Power Engineering Handbook has grown so much that it is now presented as a set of five books. Now this authoritative coverage is available in easily digestible portions that are tightly focused and conveniently sized. Completing the set, Power System Stability and Control outlines the dynamics, operational aspects, and protection issues of power systems related to stability and control. In addition to updates and revisions throughout the chapters, it includes new sections in the areas of small signal stabilit.

Power systems are complex systems that evolve over years in response to economic growth and continuously increasing power demand. With growing populations and the industrialization of the developing world, more energy is required to satisfy the basic needs and to attain improved standards of human welfare. The power system construction has been actively developed. The distribution of power supply is uneven and the varying load demand will inevitably lead to the high capacity power delivery. However, the contradiction between the relative weak grid structure and the high capacity power delivery has become increasingly prominent. Massive integration of energy sources in electrical power systems is a subject of current interest. The increasing cost of fossil fuels, transport costs to isolated sites and environmental concerns constitute a serious drawback to the use of conventional fossil fuel plants. In a weak electrical grid, if a large amount of conventional generation is substituted by energy sources, power system safety and stability can be compromised, in the case of large grid disturbances.This book investigates power system reliability and efficiency, the possible impacts of power variability, power grid control strategy, energy penetration level. In order to maintain the stability of the power system, suitable stability analysis methods and techniques are presented. The chapters are contributed by prominent researchers in the field of energy and cover grid integration issues, modern control theories applied in power conversion system, and dynamic and transient stability studies. There are few topics studying the stability of power system when fault occurs on transmission lines with high capacity power sending.
