The future power system will present a new hybrid grid-connected configuration with both grid-following devices (GFLDs) and grid-forming devices (GFMDs). Due to the strong stochasticity of renewable power generations, the system may encounter high short-circuit ratio (SCR) scenarios with low penetration of renewable power generations under extreme conditions. This may cause GFMD-induced low-frequency oscillation issues where the oscillation frequency is in the range of [0.1Hz, 2.5Hz]. Therefore, it is important to investigate how the interaction among GFMDs influence the low-frequency oscillation stability, and how the connection of GFLDs influence this type of oscillation stability. The existing research commonly investigated the sub-synchronous oscillation issues dominated by GFLDs in weak grids. Only a few works discussed the GFMD-induced low-frequency oscillation issues with the assumption that the GFMDs are homogeneous. However, it is still unknown how the interaction among heterogeneous GFLDs and GFMDs influences this type of low-frequency oscillation issues. Due to this, this paper proposes a novel method to evaluate small-signal low-frequency stability of power systems with GFLDs and GFMDs from the perspective of system strength.
Firstly, to simplify the analysis, this paper constructs simplified dynamic models of GFLDs and GFMDs suitable for low-frequency oscillation analysis. Secondly, based on matrix perturbation theory, equivalent homogeneous systems that approximately reflect the low-frequency dominant mode of the original system are constructed for the multi-GFMDs system considering heterogeneous GFMDs and the connection of GFLDs, where the established homogeneous system retains the network structure characteristics of the original system. Furtherly, the eigen-subsystem are derived, which can reflect the low-frequency dominant mode of the original system. On this basis, from the perspective of system strength, the low-frequency oscillation stability evaluation index of the original complex multi-infeed system is proposed, and the mechanism of the heterogeneous characteristics of grid-forming devices and the interaction between grid-following and grid-forming devices on the low-frequency oscillation of the system is revealed. Finally, the proposed analysis method is validated through case studies on a three-infeed system with two GFMDs and a GFLD and a modified IEEE 39-node system.
The following conclusions can be drawn: (1) The proposed simplified models of GFLD and GFMD are applicable to the low-frequency oscillation stability analysis of hybrid multi-infeed systems, which is verified based on detailed electromagnetic transient models; the constructed eigen-subsystem can approximately reflect the low-frequency stability of the original complex multi-infeed system. (2) The proposed generalized short-circuit ratio (gSCR) index and its critical value effectively reflect system strength and low-frequency stability margin in hybrid renewable energy systems, which simplifies the complexity of the stability analysis. (3) From the perspective of system strength, the connection of GFLDs has no impact on grid strength, but influence the critical value of grid strength. Therefore, the impact of the connection of GFLDs on the low-frequency oscillation stability of the system can be equivalently regarded as changing the maximal SCR requirement of the original multi-grid-forming device grid-connected system, thereby affecting the low-frequency stability of the system. Besides, how the GFLDs influence the maximal gSCR requirement depends on the control structure and control parameters of the GFLDs (the addition of GFLDs may improve or deteriorate the system stability).
