“…The size of BRs for TSI of individual power plants in [1,2,4,5] is defined to be able to stabilize a critical fault that initially causes instability, considering that the device is located close to the plant. This results in sizes between 500-1000 MW for plants of capacities up to 2725 MW.…”

“…Several corrective control methods for TSI exist, such as connection of braking resistors [1][2][3][4][5][6], fast valving schemes in thermal generators [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], switched series capacitors [16], switched shunt capacitors [17], FACTS devices [18], control of HVDC links [19], islanding schemes [19], and generator and load shedding [19]. Previous work reported in the literature studied each method independently focusing mainly in the modelling and in the control of the insertion-removal of the specific devices to optimize the impact on TSI; some existing comparative studies [18] analyzed similar Corrective Measures (CMs) based on FACTS devices.…”

Corrective control actions for Transient Stability Improvement (TSI) could offer a solution to possible problems arising in modern stressed power networks operating under higher level of uncertainty. A comparative analysis of the most widely used corrective TSI methods is presented in this paper. The impact of the different Corrective Measures (CMs) on transient stability is investigated for different size of equipment, by calculating the additional time that the system is capable of withstanding severe disturbances at different locations. A comparison between different CMs is also performed, to identify the conditions under which each measure is most effective and therefore guide the design of stabilization strategies for large power systems. The work in this paper contributes specifically to the decentralized real-time stabilization of power systems.

“…Previous DBR topologies proposed by Wu [11] and Freitus [12] for wind farm stability have a shunt-connected topology, in the manner previously applied to improve transmission and synchronous generator stability [13], [14]. The distinctive advantage of series-SDBR over shunt-DBR is derived from the fact that its effect is related to current magnitude rather than voltage magnitude.…”

Fault ride-through (FRT) is required for large wind farms in most power systems. Fixed speed wind turbines (FSWTs) are a diminishing but significant sector in the fast-growing wind turbine (WT) market. State-of-art techniques applied to meet grid requirements for FSWT wind farms are blade pitching and dynamic reactive power compensation (RPC). Blade pitching is constrained by the onerous mechanical loads imposed on a wind turbine during rapid power restoration. Dynamic RPC is constrained by its high capital cost. These present technologies can therefore be limiting, especially when connecting to smaller power systems. A novel alternative technology is proposed that inserts series resistance into the generation circuit. The series dynamic braking resistor (SDBR) dissipates active power and boosts generator voltage, potentially displacing the need for pitch control and dynamic RPC. This paper uses a representative wind farm model to study the beneficial effect of SDBR compared to dynamic RPC. This is achieved by quasi-steady-state characterization and transient FRT stability simulations. The analysis shows that SDBR can substantially improve the FRT performance of a FSWT wind farm. It also shows that a small resistance, inserted for less than one second, can displace a substantial capacity of dynamic RPC.

Oscillation behavior is usually experienced in all power grids as an inherent characterization related to their very existence. Inter-area oscillations are considered to be the most likely to jeopardize the synchronous integrity in power grids. They cause declining the quality conditions of the transmitted power which could have adverse impacts on big consumers' load fed directly from the transmission grid. Therefore, the prime target of this investigation is to alleviate the power oscillations resulting from the different grid disturbances. This aim is accomplished by utilizing a fuzzy based resistor braking strategy taking three energization signals into consideration. Additionally, various time latencies are considered to examine and evaluate the propositioned strategy under these conditions. Also, declined inertia situations resulting from the escalated incursion levels of grid-connected photovoltaic plants are considered to examine the propositioned strategy from a futuristic operational perspective. For examining the effectivity of the propositioned strategy, non-linear time-domain simulation studies are conducted on Kundur benchmark via MATLAB/Simulink platform. Five comparative simulation studies of the benchmark after being subjected to variety of perturbations demonstrate the effectivity of propositioned strategy.
