In this paper, a novel model-free wide-area damping control (WADC) method is proposed, which can achieve full decoupling of modes and damp multiple critical inter-area oscillations simultaneously using grid-connected voltage source converters (VSCs). The proposed method is purely measurement based and requires no knowledge of the network topology and the dynamic model parameters. Hence, the designed controller using VSCs can update the control signals online as the system operating condition varies. Numerical studies in the modified IEEE 68-bus system with grid-connected VSCs show that the proposed method can estimate the system dynamic model accurately and can damp inter-area oscillations effectively under different working conditions and network topologies.

This paper proposes a novel online measurement-based Wide-Area Voltage Control (WAVC) method using Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) data in power systems with Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices. As opposed to previous WAVC methods, the proposed WAVC does not require any model knowledge or the participation of all buses and considers both active and reactive power perturbations. Specifically, the proposed WAVC method exploits the regression theorem of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process to estimate the sensitivity matrices through PMU data online, which are further used to design and apply the voltage regulation by updating the reference points of FACTS devices. Numerical results on the IEEE 39- Bus and IEEE 68-Bus systems demonstrate that the proposed model-free WAVC can provide effective voltage control in various network topologies, different combinations of voltage-controlled and voltage-uncontrolled buses, under measurement noise, and in case of missing PMUs. Particularly, the proposed WAVC algorithm may outperform the model-based WAVC when an undetected topology change happens.
This paper presents a new phasor measurement unit (PMU)-based wide-area damping control (WADC) method to suppress the critical inter-area modes of large-scale power systems. Modal participation factors, estimated by a practically model-free system identification approach, are used to select the most suitable synchronous generators for control through the proposed WADC algorithm. It is shown that multiple inter-area modes can be sufficiently damped by the proposed approach without affecting the rest of the modes, while only a few machines are needed to perform the control. The proposed technique is applied to the IEEE 68-bus and the IEEE 145-bus systems, including the test cases with PMU measurement noise and with missing PMUs. The simulation results clearly demonstrate the good adaptivity of the control strategy subjected to network model changes, its effective damping performance comparing to power system stabilizers (PSSs), and its great potential for near real-time implementation.
The renewable energy is connected to the power grid through power electronic converters, which are lack of make the inertia of synchronous generator/machine (SM) be lost. The increasing penetration of renewable energy in power system weakens the frequency and voltage stability. The Grid-Forming Converters (GFCs) simulate the function of synchronous motor through control method in order to improve the stability of power grid by providing inertia and stability regulation mechanism. This kind of converter control methods include virtual synchronous machine, schedulable virtual oscillator control and so on. These control method mainly use AC side state feedback and do not monitor the DC side state. This paper analyzes the control strategy of GFC considering power grid stability, including Frequency Droop Control, Virtual Synchronous Machine Control and dispatchable Virtual Oscillator Control. The DC side voltage collapse problem is found when a large load disturbance occurs. The control methods of GFC considering DC side voltage feedback are proposed, which can ensure the synchronization characteristics of grid connection and solve the problem of DC side voltage collapse. The proposed method is verified by IEEE-9 bus system, which shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.
In this paper, a phasor measurement unit (PMU)-based wide-area damping control method is proposed to damp the interarea oscillations that threaten the modern power system stability and security. Utilizing the synchronized PMU data, the proposed almost model-free approach can achieve an effective damping for the selected modes using a minimum number of synchronous generators. Simulations are performed to show the validity of the proposed wide-area damping control scheme.
Having sufficient grid-forming sources is one of the necessary conditions to guarantee the stability in a power system hosting a very large share of inverter-based generation. The grid-forming function has been historically fulfilled by synchronous machines. However, with the appropriate control, it can also be provided by voltage source converters (VSC). This work presents a comparison between two technologies with grid-forming capability: the VSC with a grid-forming control coupled with an adequate energy storage system, and the synchronous condensers (SC). Both devices are compared regarding their inertial response, as well as their contribution to the system strength and short-circuit current for an equivalent capacity expressed in terms of apparent power and inertial reserve. Their behaviour following grid disturbances is assessed through time-domain simulations based on detailed electromagnetic transient (EMT) models. The results show that both devices achieve similar performance in the time-scale of seconds. For shorter time-windows, however, they present a different behavior: the SC ensures a better stiffness in the first tens of ms following the disturbance, while the VSC offers a faster resynchronization.
