This paper proposes a computational method to efficiently and quickly estimate stability regions of droop control slopes for modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based multiterminal dc (MTDC) systems. The proposed method is based on a general small-signal model consisting of a dc grid with arbitrary topology and MMCs with dq controllers. The general small-signal model developed by a systematic way can be used for small-disturbance stability analysis. To verify the developed small-signal model, a comparison between the developed model calculated in MATLAB and the detailed switching model simulated in PSCAD/EMTDC is conducted, which demonstrates the accuracy of the developed small-signal model. Based on the eigenvalues sensitivity and the Taylor Series of eigenvalues, a set of inequality constraints are derived and used to efficiently estimate the stability regions of all coupled slopes of the droop characteristics. It is helpful for efficiently designing and adjusting the droop controller parameters for the MMC-MTDC systems. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by the several examinations including the supremum test and the stability region sketch on accuracy and feasibility.

We consider the problem of stability analysis for distribution grids with droop-controlled inverters and dynamic distribution power lines. The inverters are modeled as voltage sources with controllable frequency and amplitude. This problem is very ch allenging for large networks as numerical simulations and detailed eigenvalue analysis are impactical. Motivated by the above limitations, we present in this paper a systematic and computationally efficient framework for stability analysis of inverter-based distribution grids. To design our framework, we use tools from singular perturbation and Lyapunov theories. Interestingly, we show that stability of the fast dynamics of the power grid depends only on the voltage droop gains of the inverters while, stability of the slow dynamics, depends on both voltage and frequency droop gains. Finally, by leveraging these timescale separation properties, we derive sufficient conditions on the frequency and voltage droop gains of the inverters that warrant stability of the full system. We illustrate our theoretical results through a numerical example on the IEEE 13-bus distribution grid.

Autonomous droop control PV inverters have improved voltage regulation compared to the inverters without grid support functions, but more flexible control techniques will be required as the number of solar photovoltaic (PV) installations increases. T his paper studies three inverter future deployment scenarios with droop control inverters, non-exporting inverters, and coordinated inverter control (CIC). The network operation and the interaction between various inverter control methods are studied by simulating inverter operation on two low-voltage networks. Considering 30% PV penetration as the base case, we demonstrate that coordinated inverters can mitigate overvoltages and voltage fluctuations caused by the tripping of passive inverters in 85% of PV location cases when at least as many coordinated as passive inverters are deployed on the 114-node test feeder. However, this rate reduced to 37% with the IEEE 906-node network demonstrating that the deployment of coordinated inverter control may not be able to reverse passive inverter-related voltage disturbances when the build-up of passive inverters has reached a certain threshold. The aggregated PV output from coordinated inverters can be also used to provide grid support services. When the low-voltage networks operate close to the upper voltage limits, the change in the power output from coordinated inverters following a regulation request may be partially offset by passive inverters. Considering an equal number of passive and coordinated inverters, this paper shows that for each unit of the down-regulation request delivered by coordinated inverters, passive inverter output may increase by up to 0.2 units and decrease by up to 0.45 units during coordinated inverter up-regulation.
Modular multilevel converters (MMCs) are widely used in the design of modern high-voltage direct current (HVdc) transmission system. High-fidelity dynamic models of MMCs-based HVdc system require small simulation time step and can be accurately model ed in electro-magnetic transient (EMT) simulation programs. The EMT program exhibits slow simulation speed and limitation on the size of the model and brings certain challenges to test the high-fidelity HVdc model in system-level simulations. This paper presents the design and implementation of a hybrid simulation framework, which enables the co-simulation of the EMT model of Atlanta-Orlando HVdc line and the transient stability (TS) model of the entire Eastern Interconnection system. This paper also introduces the implementation of two high-fidelity HVdc line models simulated at different time steps and discusses a dedicated method for sizing the buffer areas on both sides of the HVdc line. The simulation results of the two HVdc models with different sizes of buffer areas are presented and compared.
A microgrid is a new concept that has changed the power systems dramatically. It is a combination of Distributed Generation Resources (DGR) like Biomass, PV systems, Wind energy, Fuel cell, Diesel Generator, and so on with different types of loads (r esidential or commercial). Microgrids can work in two modes: autonomous and Interconnected. In the Islanding situation, the loads will be supported by DGR and without connecting to upstream utility grids. Controlling power electronic Interfaces between sources and loads has been an important task between the researchers. Several different strategies have been presented by researchers. Droop control strategy is one of the which has its pros and cons. In this paper, the conventional droop strategy has been explained in detail and formulated. The Simulation results are taken from MATLAB/SIMULINK to show the capability of the control strategy.
Under voltage load shedding has been considered as a standard and effective measure to recover the voltage stability of the electric power grid under emergency and severe conditions. However, this scheme usually trips a massive amount of load which c an be unnecessary and harmful to customers. Recently, deep reinforcement learning (RL) has been regarded and adopted as a promising approach that can significantly reduce the amount of load shedding. However, like most existing machine learning (ML)-based control techniques, RL control usually cannot guarantee the safety of the systems under control. In this paper, we introduce a novel safe RL method for emergency load shedding of power systems, that can enhance the safe voltage recovery of the electric power grid after experiencing faults. Unlike the standard RL method, the safe RL method has a reward function consisting of a Barrier function that goes to minus infinity when the system state goes to the safety bounds. Consequently, the optimal control policy can render the power system to avoid the safety bounds. This method is general and can be applied to other safety-critical control problems. Numerical simulations on the 39-bus IEEE benchmark is performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed safe RL emergency control, as well as its adaptive capability to faults not seen in the training.
