HVDC-based Fast Frequency Support for Low Inertia Power Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper analyses and compares different methodologies for supporting system frequency in low inertia power systems using HVDC interconnectors. Reduced system inertia, caused by the massive integration of converter-interfaced renewables and the displacement of conventional synchronous generation, can result in high values of rate of change of frequency (ROCOF), increasing the risk of frequency stability problems. In this paper, HVDC interconnections are analysed to determine their capability to provide support to the frequency stability between the Great British (GB) power system and the Continental Europe (CE) power system. Different frequency support control schemes (including droop control and the exchange of Frequency Control Reserves) are modelled and compared for a variety of cases. HVDC interconnector constraints including maximum power ramp rates and available capacity for frequency support have been derived by analysing historical operational data and incorporated into the analysis. Probabilistic uncertainty analysis considering variations in system inertia and the availability of interconnector capacity for frequency support has been performed. Studies are performed on a simplified frequency-based model of the future GB power system. The findings illustrate that droop control provides the best frequency support mechanism.

متن کاملWind Farms with HVDC Delivery in Inertia Response and Load Frequency Control
This paper develops a coordination control strategy for wind farms with line commutated converter (LCC) based HVDC delivery to participate in inertia response and load frequency control. The coordination philosophy is to let the HVDC rectifier sense the grid frequency. If the grid frequency is too high or too low, active power flow through the HVDC link will be ramped down or up by introducing ...

This paper analyses the frequency support characteristics of multi-terminal VSC-HVDC (MTDC) schemes using the energy transferred from wind turbine rotating mass and other AC systems. An alternative coordinated control (ACC) scheme, which gives priority to a frequency versus active power droop fitted to onshore VSCs is proposed to: (i) transfer wind turbine recovery power to undisturbed AC grids...
متن کاملA Study on Maximum Wind Power Penetration Limit in Island Power System Considering High-Voltage Direct Current Interconnections
The variability and uncontrollability of wind power increases the difficulty for a power system operator to implement a wind power system with a high penetration rate. These are more serious factors to consider in small and isolated power systems since the system has small operating reserves and inertia to secure frequency and voltage. Typically, this difficulty can be reduced by interconnectio...
