“…Larger models that include, in addition to GMT, other models such as solar photovoltaic (PV) a wind turbine [103] or solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) [104] were created. These large-scale mixed source models were used for the analysis of complicated failures such as a cascading collapse problem caused by fast-acting distributed energy resources [105]. Of course, PSCAD / EMTDC is widely used beyond GMT integration, especially for dynamic modeling of AC or DC components in electrical engineering [106].…”

“…Thus, compared with synchronous generators, droop-controlled inverters are more severely affected by large disturbances, thereby threatening the stable operation of the power system [11][12] . The breakdown of CERTS microgrid in the U.S. has been reported to have occurred due to high-power load switching [13][14] . A large-scale wind farm has also been reported to have caused the grid to trip off because of instability, causing economic losses to mainland China [15][16] .…”

In recent years, the transient stability problems encountered by power grids have increasingly attracted interest due to the connection of renewable energy resources. One of the effective methods for studying the transient characteristics of a system is transient simulation analysis. To reduce the simulation time, especially in a system with numerous renewable energy resources, model reduction has been widely employed. However, when a general reduced model is adopted to analyze different transient characteristics, a tradeoff between accuracy and simulation speed emerges. In this study, reduced model selection is implemented to resolve this problem. Considering the droop-controlled converter as an example, this approach allows the transient simulation analysis of voltage, frequency, and power angle characteristics. First, a full-order model of the droop-controlled inverter is formulated. Thereafter, the singular perturbation method is applied to derive different reduced-order models. Then, considering accuracy and simulation speed simultaneously, the most suitable reduced models for transient angle, voltage, and frequency simulation analyses are determined through time-domain simulation comparison. Finally, the simulation results based on Matlab/Simulink are used to verify the correctness of the reduced model selection.

“…In [12] the mechanisms of increasing stability of VSG are shown with a power‐angle curve. Due to different speed of the performance, the stability of the system with parallel VSGs is not so problematic that the VSG is operated in parallel with multiple SGs [13]. Compared to the small‐signal stability obtained by linearizing the system around the operating point [14], large disturbance stability of SGs‐VSG has been less studied [15].…”

In hybrid power system (HPS), there are many inverter-based generators (IBGs) that inject renewable energy into the system as electrical power. Transient stability analysis of HPS in which synchronous generators (SGs) are operated in parallel with IBGs is necessary to operate the network safely under large disturbances. This paper examines the transient behaviour of IBGs with effective strategies, in which constraint on output current of IBGs is strictly considered to bring the results closer to reality. The control strategy is based on reference model tracking and substitution theory for networks, including parallel SG-IBGs to full IBGs. First, for a network with full IBGs, a constant power model reference is proposed as a static model. Then a dynamic reference model called saturated full model of virtual synchronous generator (VSG) or simply SFMVSG is introduced as the final solution for the controller of IBG in HPS. The SFMVSG has all existing VSG features and provides virtual damping torque created by the interaction of virtual damping fluxes. The simulation results confirm that the study is efficient.
