Overview

Modern power systems are facing unprecedented challenges in both small-disturbance and transient stability due to the growing structural complexity of grids and the heterogeneity of components. Renewable power sources, high-voltage direct-current transmission stations, and other power electronics equipment introduce significant difficulties in acquiring proper modeling and efficient methods for stability analysis. Extensive research has been conducted to address these issues, especially with the increasing integration of renewable power generators in future power systems. Despite these efforts, power systems worldwide have encountered novel stability problems introduced by renewable power generators that were previously unnoticed. Quantitative estimation and enlargement of the stability region of power systems are becoming key challenges in planning, operation, and control. These challenges cannot be resolved by traditional time-domain simulation investigations alone.

Scope and Objectives

• Modeling of Large-Scale Power Systems
• Analysis and control of small-disturbance and transient stability in power systems.
• Estimation of Stability Regions
• Methods for accurately estimating the stability region of large-scale power systems.
• Impacts and Design of Distributed Controllers
• Optimal design of distributed controllers to enlarge the stability region of power systems.
• Transient Stability Enhancement
• Control strategies for renewable power generators to enhance transient stability.
• Converter Control Modes Interaction
• Analysis of the interaction between converter control modes and power system transient stability.
• Industrial Cases and Experiences
• Real-world cases and experiences in implementing stability and control solutions.

Importance and Relevance

The global demand for energy is rapidly increasing, driven by population growth and economic expansion. Projections indicate that the human population will reach 9.7 billion by 2050, accompanied by significant economic growth, which will substantially increase energy consumption. Concurrently, there is a growing awareness of the environmental impacts of fossil fuels, leading to a significant interest in renewable energy sources. This track will address the critical need for optimal energy generation, conversion, storage, distribution, management, and consumption systems. Emphasis will be placed on the optimal integration of intermittent renewable energy sources with power storage systems and grids, ensuring that the quality of power delivery is maintained.
