Small-signal instability of grid-connected power converters may arise when the converters use a phase-locked loop (PLL) to synchronize with a weak grid. Commonly, this stability problem (referred as PLL-synchronization stability in this paper) was studied by employing a single-converter system connected to an infinite bus, which however, omits the impacts of power grid structure and the interactions among multiple converters. Motivated by this, we investigate how the grid structure affects PLL-synchronization stability of multi-converter systems. By using Kron reduction to eliminate the interior nodes, an equivalent reduced network is obtained which contains only the converter nodes. We explicitly show how the Kron-reduced multi-converter system can be decoupled into its modes. This modal representation allows us to demonstrate that the smallest eigenvalue of the grounded Laplacian matrix of the Kron-reduced network dominates the stability margin. We also carry out a sensitivity analysis of this smallest eigenvalue to explore how a perturbation in the original network affects the stability margin. On this basis, we provide guidelines on how to improve the PLL-synchronization stability of multi-converter systems by PLL-retuning, proper placement of converters or enhancing some weak connection in the network. Finally, we validate our findings with simulation results based on a 39-bus test system.
The modern power grid features the high penetration of power converters, which widely employ a phase-locked loop (PLL) for grid synchronization. However, it has been pointed out that PLL can give rise to small-signal instabilities under weak grid con
The transient stability of power systems and synchronization of non-uniform Kuramoto oscillators are closely related problems. In this paper, we develop a novel regional stability analysis framework based on the proposed region-parametrized Lyapunov
Stability of power grids with synchronous generators (SGs) and renewable generation interfaced with grid-forming converters (GFCs) under dc-side current limitation is studied. To that end, we first consider a simple 2-bus test system and reduced-orde
In this paper, we present a novel approach to identify the generators and states responsible for the small-signal stability of power networks. To this end, the newly developed notion of information transfer between the states of a dynamical system is
One of the fundamental concerns in the operation of modern power systems is the assessment of their frequency stability in case of inertia-reduction induced by the large share of power electronic interfaced resources. Within this context, the paper p
