Keynote Title: “Stabilizing Grid-Converter Interactions”.
Abstract:
The widespread use of power electronic converters in renewable energy resources and flexible ac or dc transmission systems is profoundly changing dynamics and control of power systems. These converter-based resources are significantly different from synchronous generators in respect to their physical properties and control dynamics. The differences pose challenges to the stability and power quality of electricity supply. This lecture will give an overview of instability issues caused by dynamic interactions of converter-based resources, and then discuss dynamics analysis and control methods for addressing the problems. Emerging trends and challenges with grid integration of converter-based resources will also be covered.
