Stability-constrained System Scheduling for Future Power Systems with High Penetration of IBRs

Power system scheduling traditionally concerns economic optimization in the steady state of the power system, which is also commonly known as the security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) and Economic Dispatch (ED). However, with the growing penetration of inverter-based resources, steady-state-only generation scheduling may impose a significant challenge in maintaining power system stability. In consequence, it becomes necessary to integrate the stability constraints (i.e. voltage stability, frequency stability, and rotor angle stability) into power system scheduling to balance steady-state operation and system dynamic performance. This panel aims to bring in the latest development of stability-constrained system scheduling and identify the key barriers to the implementation of such methods in the industry.
