Control of Photovoltaic Inverters For Transient and Voltage Stability Enhancement

The document proposes a control scheme for PV inverters to improve transient and voltage stability by absorbing kinetic energy from synchronous generators during faults. It improves upon existing methods by both increasing active power output near pre-fault levels to balance mechanical and electrical power, as well as injecting reactive power to enhance post-fault voltage recovery. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme in enhancing stability compared to existing solutions.

Abstract:
The increasing number of megawatt-scale Photovoltaic (PV) power plants and other large inverter-based
power stations that are being added to the power system are leading to changes in the way the power grid
is operated. In response to these changes, new grid code requirements establish that inverter based power
stations should not only remain connected to the grid during faulty conditions but, also provide dynamic
support. This feature is referred in the literature to as momentary cessation operation. The few published
studies about momentary cessation operation for PV power plants have not shed much light on the impact
of these systems on the overall power system stability problem. As an attempt to address this issue, this
project proposes a control scheme for PV inverters that improves the transient stability of a synchronous
generator connected to the grid. It is shown through the paper that the proposed control scheme makes the
PV inverter's dc link capacitors absorb some of the kinetic energy stored in the synchronous machine
during momentary cessation. Besides that, the proposed solution is also able to improve voltage stability
through the injection of reactive power. simulation results are presented in order to demonstrate the
effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
Introduction
 In recent years, power systems have experienced a significant increase in the penetration of RE
sources, which are usually connected to the power grid through power converters (such as
inverters).

 The increase of PV generation implies some new technical challenges, such as transient stability ,
which makes the operation of power systems under severe disturbances an important issue.

 The overall system inertia and governor response are reduced for this new system configuration,
which may negatively impact the transient response of the rotor angle of SMs

 The inverters used in PV generation provide new opportunities, such as ancillary services to SMs.

 PV inverters may help maintain stability after a system disturbance, such as a short circuit caused
by a lightning strike on a transmission line, which may trigger a FD signal that is responsible for

Existing System

 In existing method The influences of synchronous, asynchronous, and inverter-


interfaced DG units on transient and voltage stabilities were investigated based on
a time-domain simulation .

 The simulation considered different DG penetration levels under various


contingencies and monitored the rotor speed deviation of conventional generators.

 In addition, a method for achieving transient stability in distribution networks


with DGs was proposed using a network simplification technique.
Drawbacks

 It impact of an inverter’s operating modes on the power system stability.
 Efficiency is low
Proposed System:

 This project proposes an FRT control scheme based on the absorption of the
kinetic energy stored in the SM's rotating mass to ensure transient stability.

 The proposed control scheme also improves voltage stability and its post fault recovery
through the delivery of reactive power into the grid.

 When using the proposed scheme, the SM active power output is increased close to its
pre-fault value, recovering the balance between the SM electrical power and
mechanical power, what decelerates the rotor angular speed that, in turn, reduces the
rotor angle excursions.
