Optimal Inverter-Based Resources Placement in Low-Inertia Power Systems
An increase in the integration of Inverter Based Resources (IBRs) to the electric grid, will lead to a corresponding decrease in the amount of connected synchronous generators, resulting in a decline in the available rotational inertia system-wide. This can lead to pronounced frequency deviations when there are disturbances and faults in the grid. This decline in available rotational inertia can be compensated for by fast acting IBRs participating in frequency response services, by rapidly injecting into or removing power from the grid. Currently, there are still relative small number of sizable IBRs in the grid. Therefore, the placement of the IBRs in the system, as well as the inverter configuration type and controller, will have a material impact on the frequency response of the grid. In this work, we present an optimal placement algorithm that maximizes the benefits of utilizing IBRs in providing frequency response services. That is, we minimize the overall system frequency deviation while using a minimal amount of electric power injection from the IBRs. The proposed algorithm uses the resistance distance to place the IBRs at nodes that are central to the rest of the nodes in the network thus minimizing the distance of power flow. The proposed greedy algorithm achieves a near optimal performance and relies on the supermodularity of the resistance distances. We validate the performance of the placement algorithm on three IEEE test systems of varying sizes, by comparing its performance to an exhaustive search algorithm. We further evaluate the performance of the placed IBRs on an IEEE test system, to determine their impact on frequency stability. The IBRs are configured in a grid-forming mode and equipped with a model predictive control (MPC)-based inverter power control.
