ISGT Europe 2022 super session 1: Stability, Dynamics, and Control of Emerging Renewable-Rich Power Systems (Slides)

Power systems around the world are undergoing a technological revolution due to the large-scale integration of inverter-based resources (IBRs) and the corresponding phase-out of synchronous generator units. This technological revolution is fundamentally changing the dynamics and characteristics of this class of complex systems to these physically disparate devices, and impacting the traditional approaches to system stability. Thus, it is essential to better understand the root causes and manifestations of potential system instability phenomena under these unprecedented, high IBR share influenced grid conditions, in order to effectively develop mitigation solutions. This panel will share new insights and thoughts on the dynamics of these new emerging power systems driven by the general control and response of IBR components, especially during weak grid and varying inertia operating conditions. Clarification is sought as to the needs for system stability and security, how and to what extent IBRs might support system dynamics, as well as the associated challenges, limitations, and requirements.
