Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading provides a promising solution for integrating distributed microgrids (MGs). However, most existing research works on P2P energy trading among MGs ignore the influence of the dynamic network usage fees imposed by the distribution system operator (DSO). Therefore, a method of P2P energy trading among MGs based on the optimal dynamic network usage fees is proposed in this paper to balance the benefits of DSO. The interaction between DSO and MG is formulated as a Stackelberg game, in which the existence and uniqueness of optimal dynamic network usage fees are proven. Additionally, the optimal dynamic network usage fees are obtained by transforming the bi-level problem into single-level mixed-integer quadratic programming using Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions. Furthermore, the underlying relationship among optimal dynamic network usage fees, electrical distance, and power flow is revealed, and the mechanism of the optimal dynamic network usage fee can further enhance P2P energy trading among MGs. Finally, simulation results on an enhanced IEEE 33-bus system demonstrate that the proposed mechanism achieves a 17.08% reduction in operation costs for MG while increasing DSO revenue by 15.36%.

With the increased penetration of renewable energy sources, the grid-forming (GFM) energy storage (ES) has been considered to engage in primary frequency regulation (PFR), often necessitating the use of a frequency deadband (FDB) to prevent excessive battery charging cycling and miti-gate frequency oscillations. Implementing the FDB is relatively straightforward in grid-following (GFL) control. However, implementing the FDB in GFM control presents a significant challenge since the inverter must abstain from providing active power at any frequency within the FDB. Therefore, in this paper, the performance of PFR control in the GFM-ES inverter is analyzed in detail first. Then, the FDB is implemented for GFM inverters with various types of synchronization methods, and the need for inertia response is also considered. Moreover, given the risk of oscillations near the FDB boundary, different FDB setting methods are proposed and examined, where an improved triangular hysteresis method is proposed to realize the fast response and enhanced stability. Finally, the simulation and experiment results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the above methods.

Inverter-based distributed generation (DG) and renewable energy sources (RESs) are recognized as key elements to address the challenge of economically harvesting energy while, at the same time, achieving net-zero targets. However, inverter-based generation decreases the physical inertia available in the system and increases uncertainty. Moreover, recent studies have highlighted that relatively high integration of DGs/RESs can negatively impact on power grid dynamics, power quality, frequency control, voltage regulation, as well as other control and operational issues. All these issues significantly limit the penetration of DG and RESs.

Grid-forming (GFM) converters are recognized for their stabilizing effects in renewable energy systems. Integrating GFM converters into high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems requires DC voltage control. However, there can be a conflict between GFM converter and DC voltage control when they are used in combination. This paper presents a rigorous control design for a GFM converter that connects the DC-link voltage to the power angle of the converter, thereby integrating DC voltage control with GFM capability. The proposed control is validated through small-signal and transient-stability analyses on a modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based HVDC system with a point-to-point (P2P) GFM-GFM configuration. The results demonstrate that employing a GFM-GFM configuration with the proposed control enhances the stability of the AC system to which it is connected. The system exhibits low sensitivity to grid strength and can sustain islanding conditions. The high stability limit of the system with varying grid strength using the proposed control is validated using a system with four voltage source converters.

The gradual penetration of grid-forming (GFM) converters into new power systems with renewable energy sources may result in the emergence of small-signal instability issues. These issues can be elucidated using sequence impedance models, which offer a more tangible and meaningful interpretation than dq-domain impedance models and state-space models. However, existing research has primarily focused on the impact of power loops and inner control loops in GFM converters, which has not yet elucidated the precise physical interpretation of inner voltage and current loops of GFM converters in circuits. This paper derives series-parallel sequence impedance models of multi-loop GFM converters, demonstrating that the voltage loop can be regarded as a parallel impedance and the current loop as a series impedance. Consequently, the corre-sponding small-signal stability characteristics can be identified through Bode diagrams of sequence impedances or by examining the physical meanings of impedances in series and in parallel. The results indicate that the GFM converter with a single power loop is a candidate suitable for application in new power systems, given its reduced number of control parameters and enhanced low-frequency performance, particularly in weak grids. The results of PLECS simulations and corresponding prototype experiments verify the accuracy of the analytical analysis under diverse grid conditions.

The integration of converter-interfaced generators (CIGs) into power systems is rapidly replacing traditional synchronous machines. To ensure the security of power supply, modern power systems require the application of grid-forming technologies. This study presents a systematic small-signal analysis procedure to assess the synchronization stability of gridforming virtual synchronous generators (VSGs) considering the power system characteristics. Specifically, this procedure offers guidance in tuning controller gains to enhance stability. It is applied to six different grid-forming VSGs and experimentally tested to validate the theoretical analysis. This study concludes with key findings and a discussion on the suitability of the analyzed grid-forming VSGs based on the power system characteristics.

Grid-following voltage source converter (GFL-VSC) and grid-forming voltage source converter (GFM-VSC) have different dynamic characteristics for active power-frequency and reactive power-voltage supports of the power grid. This paper aims to clarify and recognize the difference between grid-following (GFL) and grid-forming (GFM) frequency-voltage support more intuitively and clearly. Firstly, the phasor model considering circuit constraints is established based on the port circuit equations of the converter. It is revealed that the voltage and active power linearly correspond to the horizontal and vertical axes in the phasor space referenced to the grid voltage pha-sore Secondly, based on topological homology, GFL and GFM controls are transformed and mapped into different trajectories. The topological similarity of the characteristic curves for GFL and GFM controls is the essential cause of their uniformity. Based on the above model, it is indicated that GFL-VSC and GFM-VSC possess uniformity with regard to active power response, type of coupling, and phasor trajectory. They differ in synchronization, power coupling mechanisms, dynamics, and active power-voltage operation domain in the quasi-steady state. Case studies are undertaken on GFL-VSC and GFM-VSC integrated into a four-machine two-area system. Simulation results verify that the dynamic uniformity and difference of GFL-VSC and GFM-VSC are intuitively and comprehensively revealed.

This paper studies the problem of multi-stage robust unit commitment with discrete load shedding. In the day-ahead phase, the on-off status of thermal units is scheduled. During each period of real-time dispatch, the output of thermal units and the action of load shedding are determined, and the discrete choice of load shedding corresponds to the practice of tripping substation outlets. The entire decision-making process is formulated as a multi-stage adaptive robust optimization problem with mixed-integer recourse, whose solution takes three steps. First, we propose and apply partially affine policy, which is optimized ahead of the day and restricts intertemporal dispatch variables as affine functions of previous uncertainty realizations, leaving remaining continuous and binary dispatch variables to be optimized in real time. Second, we demonstrate that the resulting model with partially affine policy can be reformulated as a two-stage robust optimization problem with mixed-integer recourse. Third, we modify the standard nested column-and-constraint generation algorithm to accelerate the inner loops by warm start. The modified algorithm solves the two-stage problem more efficiently. Case studies on the IEEE 118-bus system verify that the proposed partially affine policy outperforms conventional affine policy in terms of optimality and robustness; the modified nested column-and-constraint generation algorithm significantly reduces the total computation time; and the proposed method balances well optimality and efficiency compared with state-of-the-art methods.

Oscillations caused by small-signal instability have been widely observed in AC grids with grid-following (GFL) and grid-forming (GFM) converters. The generalized short-circuit ratio is commonly used to assess the strength of GFL converters when integrated with weak AC systems at risk of oscillation. This paper provides the grid strength assessment method to evaluate the small-signal synchronization stability of GFL and GFM converters integrated systems. First, the admittance and impedance matrices of the GFL and GFM converters are analyzed to identify the frequency bands associated with negative damping in oscillation modes dominated by heterogeneous synchronization control. Secondly, based on the interaction rules between the short-circuit ratio and the different oscillation modes, an equivalent circuit is proposed to simplify the grid strength assessment through the topological transformation of the AC grid. The risk of sub-synchronization and low-frequency oscillations, influenced by GFL and GFM converters, is then reformulated as a semi-definite programming (SDP) model, incorporating the node admittance matrix and grid-connected device capacities. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through a case analysis.

The transient synchronization characteristics and instability mechanism of the permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based grid-forming wind energy conversion system (GFM-WECS) under symmetrical grid fault have received little attention to date. In this paper, considering the dynamics of DC-link voltage, the transient stability and an improved control strategy of PMSG-based GFM-WECS are studied in detail. Firstly, considering the dynamic interactions between the machine-side converter and the grid-side converter, the large-signal equivalent model of GFM-WECS is established. Furthermore, a novel Lyapunov function is derived to evaluate the transient stability margin and instability boundary of GFM-WECS during grid voltage sag. Additionally, the impacts of current-limitation control on the transient stability of GFM-WECS are revealed. Then, a stability evaluation index is proposed to evaluate the transient stability margin of GFM-WECS. Moreover, an improved control strategy is proposed to enhance the transient response characteristics and low voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability of GFM-WECS under symmetrical grid fault. Finally, simulations and experimental results are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

Then, a stability evaluation index is proposed to evaluate the transient stability margin of GFM-WECS. Moreover, an improved control strategy is proposed to enhance the transient response characteristics and low voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability of GFM-WECS under symmetrical grid fault. Finally, simulations and experimental results are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.","PeriodicalId":51326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy","volume":"13 1","pages":"128-141"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10807807","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143184040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
