Transient Stability Analysis and Optimization of Grid-following/Grid-forming Hybrid Systems Based on Damping Energy Visualization
With the continuous increase in the installed capacity of renewable energy integrated through grid-following converters
the inertia and voltage strength of local power grids have significantly declined
necessitating the deployment of grid-forming energy storage systems to provide grid support. Therefore
local power grids are transitioning to hybrid renewable energy systems that combine grid-following and grid-forming converters. Unlike conventional synchronous generators
the synchronous torque and damping coefficients of these grid-following and grid-forming converters are nonlinear
which complicates the synchronization process and hinders the transient stability analysis in multi-converter systems. To this end
based on the motion equations of power-angle coupling
a third-order transient synchronization equation characterizing frequency and power-angle difference of a two-machine system is established to describe the dynamic process of grid-following/grid-forming hybrid systems under islanded operation. When the hybrid system operates in off-grid mode
load changes can cause steady-state frequency deviations of the system. However
when the positive and negative signs of the frequency deviation are different
the damping effect of the converters is opposite
resulting in differences in transient stability characteristics. To illustrate the influence mechanism of damping coefficients on transient stability
a customized phase-plane diagram is developed to visualize the transient damping energy
providing an intuitive and physical interpretation of the damping effect. On this basis
an adaptive damping enhancement strategy is proposed to adjust the damping coefficient adaptively
thereby further enhancing the system transient stability. Finally
simulation results validate the correctness of the transient stability analysis and effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
