A hybrid simulation using the real-time digital simulator RTDS and the Transient Stability Analysis Tool (TSAT) is used to validate the performance of a wide-area damping controller (WADC) under practical operating conditions such as constant and random communication delays and occasional data loss for the Saudi power grid. Several function modules are implemented and integrated within the WADC to improve its reliability and performance, such as adaptive delay compensator, data buffer, and supervisory control. RTDS is used to model the studied subsystem of Saudi Electricity Company (SEC), and the rest of the system is modeled in TSAT. The controller performance is validated through HIL test setup using an actual oscillation event. The system separation condition of the SEC system is validated using the HIL experiments. The HIL test results have demonstrated that the developed controller effectively improves the target inter-area oscillations’ damping under various communication network uncertainties.

In February 2021, Texas experienced an extreme cold snap causing a dramatic electricity blackout that left millions of households without electricity, resulting in over two hundred fatalities and economic damages of approximately $100 billion. The Texas blackout has been used to support a variety of claims regarding renewable energy, electricity markets and climate change. We identify the blackout’s drivers and what has been learned since then. These lessons apply to power systems worldwide, including those of the Gulf Cooperation Council and the broader Middle East and North Africa region.
