Enhancement of Transient Stability in Power Systems with High Penetration Level of Wind Power Plants

Due to the power electronic converter based interface and maximum power control strategy, wind generators cannot directly respond to power system transients. This brings new challenges on power system transient stability. Taking wind turbine type 4 (WT4) as one example, this paper analyses its influence on transient stability with respect to...

MVMO-based tuning of Active Power Gradient Control of VSC-HVDC links for Frequency Support

The active power gradient (APG) control of MMC-HVDC links can contribute to frequency support in AC networks affected by severe active power imbalances. This functionality is particularly convenient if the coupled AC systems (through MMC-HVDC) have similar levels of available inertia. This paper tackles the problem of determining the optimal...
