Small-Signal Stability Analysis for Power System Frequency Regulation with Renewable Energy Participation

Abstract

With the improvement of the permeability of wind and photovoltaic (PV) energy, it has become one of the key problems to maintain the small-signal stability of the power system. Therefore, this paper analyzes the small-signal stability in a power system integrated with wind and solar energy. First, a mathematical model for small-signal stability analysis of power systems including the wind farm and PV station is established. And the characteristic roots of the New England power system integrated with wind energy and PV energy are obtained to study their small-signal stability. In addition, the validity of the theory is verified by the voltage drop of different nodes, which proves that power system integrated with wind-solar renewable energy participating in the frequency regulation can restore the system to the rated frequency in the shortest time and, at the same time, can enhance the robustness of each unit.
