Abstract

The green energy revolution is leading to power systems with high penetrations of renewable energy sources and high penetrations of inverter-interfaced devices. The dynamic characteristics of these power systems are very different from conventional systems, which has led to many new stability problems. This paper focuses on large-disturbance stability issues and the large-disturbance instability phenomena that appear in these “double-high” power systems. This paper also discusses the shortcomings of existing methods and upcoming challenges. Finally, this paper presents our perspectives on future theoretical models and methods to provide large-disturbance stability in “double-high” power systems.
