On the Convergence of the Current-Constrained Power Angle Curve of Virtual Admittance-Based Grid Forming Converters

The current-constrained power-angle curve (PAC) is crucial for the transient synchronization stability (TSS) analysis of virtual admittance-based (VA) grid-forming (GFM) converters. Its formulation and application rely on the quasi-steady-state assumption critically, i.e., the active power can converge to its steady-state across the entire angle space in both a stable and fast manner. Despite this assumption is intuitively perceivable, it lack sufficient clarification, particularly on underlying behaviors if violated. To this end, this paper uncovers a new phenomenon on the non-uniform convergence of the VA-PAC. To achieve this, an eigen-sweep-based analysis of the full-order VA-PAC model with detailed controls is conducted, by which the existence of this issue is theoretically confirmed. On this basis, the open-loop stability and response-rate conditions of the full-order VA-PAC model for ensuring its convergence are clarified. Findings of this work can provide deeper insights into the existing TSS analyses of GFM converters, and are expected to provoke new analyses.

Generalized Feedback Control Modeling Method for Control-Driven Converter Systems

Converters-based systems like wind farms manifest themselves as control-intensive systems, where control-driven stability issues frequently occur, e.g., oscillations. Such issues are popularly studied via circuit impedance-based methods. However, given its implicit controller modeling trait, the impedance-based methods have limitations in system analysis and designs involving large-scale controllers. To address this issue, this paper presents a novel frequency domain modeling framework, as a perspective shift from the circuit to the control system. Since the obtained model features a multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) feedback control structure and explicit controller placement, it is termed the Generalized Feedback Control (GFC) model. GFC modeling is conducted for both single and multi-converter cases, and the resulting models are validated by frequency scan and stability test. Moreover, advantages of the GFC method in achieving interaction analysis and stability-oriented designs of multi-controllers are demonstrated by three application examples, further suggesting its great potential for being applied to the analysis and design issues of converter systems involving large-scale controllers.

AI-Based Impedance Encoding-Decoding Method for Online Impedance Network Construction of Wind Farms

The impedance network (IN) model is gaining popularity in the oscillation analysis of wind farms. However, the construction of such an IN model requires impedance curves of each wind turbine under their respective operating conditions, making its online application difficult due to the transmission of numerous high-density impedance curves. To address this issue, this paper proposes an AI-based impedance encoding-decoding method to facilitate the online construction of IN model. First, an impedance encoder is trained to compress impedance curves by setting the number of neurons much smaller than that of frequency points. Then, the compressed data of each turbine are uploaded to the wind farm and an impedance decoder is trained to reconstruct original impedance curves. At last, based on the nodal admittance matrix (NAM) method, the IN model of the wind farm can be obtained. The proposed method is validated via model training and real-time simulations, demonstrating that the encoded impedance vectors enable fast transmission and accurate reconstruction of the original impedance curves.

An Extended Admittance Modeling Method with Synchronization Node for Stability Assessment of Converters-Interlinked System

Diverse synchronization dynamics within the grid-following (GFL)/grid-forming (GFM) converters-interlinked system are prone to induce oscillatory instabilities. To quantify their stability influences, frequency-domain modal analysis (FMA) method based on the impedance network can serve as a good reference. However, since the adopted impedance network only retains electrical nodes, oscillation information provided by the FMA method is mainly concerned with circuits (e.g., participation of nodes), which is not convenient for an intuitive probe of sync loops' participations. To address this issue, this paper proposes an extended admittance modeling method for FMA, the basis of which is the explicit characterization of GFL/GFM sync loops. First, a four-port extended impedance model (EIM) of converter with one virtual sync node is proposed. Its resulting extended impedance network (EIN) is formed for the converters-interlinked system. Then, the FMA method can be directly applied to those virtual sync nodes/branches, so as to realize an intuitive evaluation of sync dynamics' effects on oscillations. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by the frequency scanning and time domain simulations in a typical point-to-point HVDC system.

A Multilayer Eigen-Sensitivity Method Using Loop Gain Model for Oscillation Diagnosis of Converter-Based System

Loop gain-based eigen-sensitivity (LGES) is a useful frequency-domain tool for oscillation diagnosis of converter-based system. However, the existing theory is still scant in two aspects: participation factor (PF) is bound up with the frequency-domain modal characteristic that does not necessarily point to the stability as that of the time-domain eigen-sensitivity (i.e., PF of oscillation mode); a systematic LGES analysis framework containing both component- and parameter- level sensitivity is missing. These two factors hinder the application of LGES method on the proper evaluation of stability effects, which are closely related with the time-domain oscillation mode. To address these issues, this paper proposes a multilayer LGES method directed to the oscillation mode, and a full set of indices like PF, component and parameter sensitivity are established. The link from the eigen-sensitivity of frequency domain to that of time domain is revealed, through which it is shown how the proposed LGES method can facilitate the control parameter tuning-guided oscillation suppression. The effectiveness of the proposed LGES method is validated via case studies conducted on a generic AC/DC converter-based system.

Three-Port Impedance Model and Validation of VSCs for Stability Analysis

Modern power system is undergoing a paradigm shift from the synchronous generators-based system to the power electronics converters-dominated system. With the high penetration of converters, serious stability problems are provoked, especially the wideband oscillations. Various studies have been conducted in this respect, while most of them separate the ac-side stability with the dc-side stability. However, for the stability analysis of the hybrid AC/DC grid, it is necessary to consider the converter ac-side and dc-side, simultaneously. In this paper, the stability analysis of voltage source converters (VSCs) considering both ac and dc dynamics is carried out. At first, the three-port AC/DC admittance model of VSCs is established, and the corresponding measurement method from simulations is presented to validate its accuracy. Secondly, based on such three-port model, two stability analysis methods are presented: the one is based on the system open-loop model, where the stability can be judged via the Generalized Nyquist Criterion (GNC); the other one is based on the system closed-loop model, whose stability can be predicted through the pole-zero calculation. At last, a test AC/DC system is built in MATLAB/Simulink, by which the effectiveness of the three-port model-based stability analysis is validated.
