Stability Assessment of Low-Inertia Power Systems: A System Operator Perspective
This paper discusses the stability assessment of low-inertia power systems through a real-world large-scale low-inertia system, namely, the All-Island power system (AIPS) of Ireland and Northern Ireland. This system currently accommodates world-record levels of system non-synchronous penetration namely 75% (planning to increase to 80% next year). The paper discusses one-month results obtained with the state-of-the-art stability tool called look-ahead security assessment (LSAT). This tool carries out rotor-angle, frequency and voltage stability analyses and is implemented in the control centres of the transmission system operators (TSOs). The paper shows that, at the time of writing, the main binding stability constraint of the AIPS is related to the limits on the rate of change of frequency (RoCoF).
