Small-signal stability in inverter-dominated grids: exploring the role of gains, line dynamics, and operating conditions
In a power grid with growing penetrations of renewable energy sources, inverters play a larger role in the dynamic interactions among network components. However, much is yet to be studied regarding inverter-dominated grid stability. This has initiated a re-examination of long-established assumptions made when conducting power systems studies. In this work we study the small-signal stability characteristics of a power system comprised of inverter and synchronous machine sources, and consider the effect of inverter control gains, transmission line dynamics, and network operating conditions. We utilize PowerSimulationsDynamics.jl to perform this study on the IEEE WSCC 9 Bus test system. We vary inverter parameters across reported ranges in the literature, we consider three transmission line models of varying fidelity, and compare results across different operating conditions. We find that line dynamics are generally important for correctly assessing small-signal stability in networks with large penetrations of grid-following converters, and that gain tuning in these networks should utilize high fidelity line models.
