With the increasing complexity of the power system, electromechanical oscillations are becoming one of the major problem. Several blackouts have been reported in the past due to insufficient damping of the oscillatory modes. The starting point to avoid catastrophic behaviors would be to simulate actual power system and study the response of the system under various outages leading to blackouts. Recently, it has been identified that appropriate modeling of the load is necessary to match the actual system behavior with the computer simulated response. This research throws some insight into the detailed load modeling and its impact on the system small signal stability. In particular, Composite load model is proposed and its effect on the system small signal stability is investigated. Modeling all the loads in a large power system would be a cumbersome job and hence the method for identifying the most sensitive load location is also proposed in the thesis. The effect of load modeling on the eigenvalue movement is also investigated. The low damped electromechanical modes are always undesirable in the large inter-connected power systems as they might get excited under some event leading to growing oscillations. Proper damping of these modes is essential for effective and reliable system operation. Power system stabilizers have been proved to be an effective way of damping these electromechanical modes. The optimal number and location of PSS to effectively damp the modes via improved Differential algorithm is proposed. Moreover, the effect of TCSC, series compensated FACTs device, on enhancing the system damping is investigated. A fixed order model matching technique is presented to design a damping controller for the TCSC. With the increasing global pressure for reducing carbon emissions, there is a great amount of interest in the renewable sources of energy, particularly Wind Energy Conversion Systems. Of all the present methods of wind generation systems, Doubly Fed Induction Generation (DFIG) based wind farms are gaining popularity. The comparison of various methods of wind generation techniques is presented. In particular, the impact of DFIG based wind farms on the system small signal stability is investigated in this work. Co-ordinated tuning of the controllers is performed using Bacterial Foraging Technique, which is another member of Evolutionary algorithms. Damping controller for the DFIG system is proposed to enhance the damping of the electromechanical modes. Results have proved the effectiveness of the control methodology. The contributions made in this thesis could be utilized to promote the further development of the damping controllers for large power systems.

Ces travaux de thèse portent essentiellement sur la modélisation, l’analyse et la commande des convertisseurs de type MMC intégrés dans un contexte MTDC. Le premier objectif de ce travail est d’aboutir à un modèle dynamique du convertisseur MMC, exprimé dans le repère $dq$, permettant d’une part, de reproduire avec précision les interactions AC-DC, et d’exprimer, d’autre part, la dynamique interne du convertisseur qui peut interagir également avec le reste du système. Le modèle développé peut être linéarisé facilement dans le but de l’exploiter pour l’étude de stabilité en se basant sur les techniques pour les systèmes linéaires à temps invariant. Ensuite, selon le modèle développé dans le repère dq, différentes stratégies de contrôle sont proposées en fonction de systèmes de contrôle-commande existantes dans la littérature mis en places pour le convertisseur MMC. Étant donné que l’ordre du système est un paramètre important pour l'étude des réseaux MTDC en présence de plusieurs stations de conversion de type MMC, l’approche de réduction de modèles à émerger comme une solution pour faciliter l’étude. En conséquence, différents modèles à ordre réduit sont développés, et qui sont validés par la suite, par rapport au modèle détaillé, exprimé dans le repère dq. Finalement, les modèles MMC développés ainsi que les systèmes de commande qui y ont associés sont exploités, pour l’analyse de stabilité en petits signaux des réseaux MMC-MTDC. Dans ce sens, la stratégie de commande associée à chaque MMC est largement évaluée dans le but d’investiguer les problèmes majeurs qui peuvent surgir au sein d’une configuration MTDC multi-constructeurs / This thesis deals with the modeling and control of MMCs in the context of MTDC. The first objective is to obtain an MMC model in dq frame which can reproduce accurately the AC- and DC- interactions, while representing at the same time the internal dynamics which may interact with the rest of the system. This model is suitable to be linearized and to study its stability, among other linear techniques. Then, based on the developed dq model, different control strategies are developed based on the state-of-the-art on MMC controllers. Since the order of the system may be a limiting factor for studying MTDC grids with many MMCs, different reduced-order models are presented and compared with the detailed dq model. Finally, the developed MMC models with different controllers are used for the MTDC studies. The impact of the chosen controllers of each MMC is evaluated, highlighting the potential issues that may occur in multivendor schemes.

Este trabalho propõe uma nova metodologia de projeto de controladores para o amortecimento de oscilações eletromecânicas de baixa freqüência em sistemas de potência. Considerando a necessidade de se aumentar a robustez dos estabilizadores clássicos frente a variações nas condições de operação, este estudo analisou uma série de requisitos práticos a serem atendidos pelos novos controladores de amortecimento e desenvolveu a metodologia proposta, de tal forma que os controladores projetados pudessem satisfazer a todos os requisitos analisados. Foram tratadas questões relativas à estrutura de controle (realimentação dinâmica descentralizada de saída), à robustez de estabilidade e desempenho (através da modelagem politópica e dos critérios de posicionamento regional de pólos) e da não atuação dos controladores em regime permanente (com a inclusão de filtros washout na modelagem). A principal vantagem desta metodologia proposta é a possibilidade de se garantir formalmente um desempenho robusto dos controladores, dentro de uma região pré-especificada de pontos de operação. Os resultados, obtidos através de simulações não lineares da resposta (para uma série de perturbações) dos sistemas escolhidos para teste, em diversas condições de operação, mostram que os controladores obtidos com a aplicação desta metodologia são capazes de manter seu desempenho frente às variações consideradas. Além disso, a obtenção de resultados satisfatórios com a aplicação desta metodologia a um sistema com 45 variáveis de estado indica boas perspectivas para a utilização conjunta da mesma com técnicas de redução do modelo de estados, para o projeto de controladores de amortecimento em sistemas reais de grande porte. / This research proposes a new methodology for the design of controllers to damp low frequency electromechanical oscillations in power systems. Considering the need to improve the robustness of the classical stabilizers, with respect to variations in the operating conditions, this study has analyzed a series of practical requirements to be met by the new damping controllers and developed the proposed methodology, so the designed controllers could satisfy all the analyzed equirements. Questions regarding the controller structure (decentralized dynamic output feedback), the robustness of stability and performance (through the polytopic modelling and the regional pole placement criteria) and the non influence of the controllers over the steady state behavior of the system (with the inclusion of washout filters in the model) were treated. The main advantage of the proposed methodology is the possibility to ensure, formally, the performance robustness of the controllers, within a previously specified region of operating points. The results, obtained through the eigenanalysis of the closed loop system and the nonlinear simulations of the system responses to a series of disturbances, in various operating conditions, show that the controllers provided by this new methodology are capable of maintaining their performance, despite the considered variations. Moreover, the satisfactory results obtained with the application of this methodology to a system with 45 state variables indicates good perspectives for the joint utilization of the methodology and model order reduction techniques, for the design of damping controllers for real-sized systems.

O presente trabalho propõe, como inovação, o limite superior para a energia da saída do sistema em malha fechada como índice de desempenho a ser usado no projeto de controladores robustos para amortecer oscilações eletromecânicas de baixa freqüência em sistemas de potência. A saída do sistema em malha fechada é especificada de forma que a energia da saída corresponda ao valor acumulado do desvio da energia cinética do sistema. O índice de desempenho proposto mostrou-se adequado ao problema de oscilações eletromecânicas. Tal índice de desempenho é utilizado na formulação de uma metodologia sistemática de projeto. O problema de controle é estruturado na forma de desigualdades matriciais lineares, permitindo a obtenção de uma solução numérica para o problema. A obtenção da solução do problema de controle proposto (energia da saída como índice de desempenho) exige menos dispêndio computacional, quando comparado com o tradicional fator de amortecimento mínimo na forma de posicionamento regional de pólos. Tal característica pode ser significativa para o tempo computacional requerido pelo projeto de controladores envolvendo modelos sistemas de potência de ordem elevada. O projeto de controladores de amortecimento robustos, baseados em modelos multimáquinas que dispensem a hipótese de existência de um barramento infinito, constitui a segunda parte da pesquisa proposta. Os problemas inerentes à hipótese do barramento infinito são resolvidos pelo uso de duas abordagens que não adotam tal hipótese. A primeira abordagem adotada refere-se ao uso de um modelo multimáquinas com o ângulo de uma das máquinas do sistema como referência angular. A segunda alternativa proposta é a incorporação do sistema primário de controle de velocidade no modelo multimáquinas referente à primeira alternativa. Além de resolver o problema referente ao uso do barramento infinito, o presente trabalho também propõe análises da influência da hipótese de tal barramento no projeto de controladores de amortecimento. A influência da hipótese do barramento infinito no projeto dos controladores é delineada por meio dos fundamentos expostos e dos resultados obtidos com as diferentes alternativas utilizadas / The present work proposes, as innovation, an upper bound for the output energy of the closed loop system to be used as a performance index in the design of robust controllers to damp low-frequency electromechanical oscillations in electric power systems. The output of the closed loop system is specified so that the output energy corresponds to the accumulated value of the kinetic energy deviation of the closed loop system. The performance index used in the procedure has shown to be suitable to the oscillation problem. The proposed performance index is used in the formulation of a systematic design methodology. The control problem is structured in the form of linear matrix inequalities, allowing a numerical solution to the control problem. The adopted performance index is less costly in terms of computational effort when compared with the traditional minimum damping ratio (performance index usually accepted in power system as small signal stability margin) via regional pole placement in the LMI formulation. This characteristic may be significant to the computational time required for the controller design involving large power system models. The robust damping controller design, based on multimachine models without the infinite-bus assumption, constitutes the second part of this research proposal. The problems inherent to the infinte-bus assumption are solved by means of two approaches which do not use such assumption. The first proposed approach refers to the use of a multimachine model adopting one machine angle of the system as angular reference. The second adopted approach is the incorporation of the primary speed control in the multimachine model regarding to the first approach. Besides solving the problem regarding to the use of infinite-bus assumption, the present work also proposes analyses of such assumption influence in the design of damping controllers. The influence of such assumption, in the design of the controllers, is outlined by means of exposed fundamentals and results obtained with the proposed approaches

In the early 1980s, relaying engineers conceived a technology allowing a huge step forward in the monitoring of power system behavior: the synchrophasor, i.e. the estimation of a phasor representation - amplitude and phase - of a sinusoidal waveform at a given point in time thanks to highly accurate time synchronization of a digital relay. By measuring synchrophasors across the power system several times per second, and centralizing the appropriate information in a hierarchical way through a telecommunication network link, it is now possible to continuously monitor the state of very large systems at a high refresh rate. <p><p>At the beginning, the phase angle information of synchrophasors was used to support or improve the performance of classic monitoring applications, such as state estimation and post-mortem analysis. Later, synchrophasors were found to be valuable for the detection and analysis of phenomena that were not monitored previously, such as system islanding and angular stability. This allows a better understanding of system behavior and the design of remedial actions in cases where system security appears to be endangered. Early detection and even prediction of instabilities, as well as validation and improvement of the dynamic models used for studies, have thus become possible.<p><p>However, a power system is rarely stationary and the assumptions behind the definition of “phasor” are not completely fulfilled because the waveforms' frequency and amplitude are not constant over a signal cycle at fundamental frequency. Therefore, accuracy of synchrophasor measurements during dynamic events is an important performance criterion. Furthermore, when discontinuities (phase jumps and high magnitude variations) and harmonics disturb the measured analog signals as a consequence of switching actions or external disturbances, measurements provided to the “user” (the operator or the algorithms that will take decisions such as triggering alarms and remedial actions) require a certain robustness. <p><p>The efforts underpinning this thesis have lead to the development of a method that ensures the robustness of the measurement. This scheme is described and tested in various conditions. In order to achieve a closer alignment between required and actual measurement performance, it is recommended to add an online indicator of phasor accuracy to the phasor data. <p><p>Fast automated corrective actions and closed-loop control schemes relying on synchrophasors are increasingly deployed in power systems. The delay introduced in the measurement and the telecommunication can have a negative impact on the efficiency of these schemes. Therefore, measurement latency is also a major performance indicator of the synchrophasor measurement. <p><p>This thesis illustrates the full measurement chain, from the measurement of analog voltages and currents in the power system to the use of these measurements for various purposes, with an emphasis on real-time applications: visualization, triggering of alarms in the control room or remedial actions, and integration in closed-loop controls. It highlights the various elements along this chain, which influence the availability, accuracy and delay of the data. <p><p>The main focus is on the algorithm to estimate synchrophasors and on the tradeoff between accuracy and latency that arises in applications for which measurements are taken during dynamic events and the data must be processed within a very limited timeframe. <p><p>If both fast phasors and slower, more accurate phasors are made available, the user would be able to select the set of phasors that are the most suitable for each application, by giving priority to either accuracy or a short delay.<p><p>This thesis also tentatively identifies gaps between requirements and typical measurements in order to identify current barriers and challenges to the use of wide area measurement systems. <p><p>A specific application, the continuous monitoring of oscillatory stability, was selected in order to illustrate the benefits of synchrophasors for the monitoring, analysis and control of power system behavior. This application requires a good phasor accuracy but can allow for some measurement delay, unless phasor data are used in an oscillation damping controller. In addition, it also relies on modal estimators, i.e. techniques for the online identification of the characteristics of oscillatory modes from measurements. This field of ongoing research is also introduced in this thesis. / Doctorat en Sciences de l'ingénieur / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

The plans to reduce the energy-related greenhouse gas emissions stimulate the deployment of electronically interfaced renewable resources. The increased penetration of such intermittent sources together with phasing conventional power plants out and the installation of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) links for long-distance more efficient transmission, reduces the stored inertia in any electrical grid. This leads to a more vulnerable power system and increases the significance of studying the corresponding stability aspects. Decreasing the inertial response of a power system deteriorates the quality of both frequency and rotor-angle stability which are the dynamics of interest in this study. The thesis explores the role of the location of low inertia on varying the power system’s dynamics. This is to be conducted in isolation of all other factors that could affect the study outcomes, such as dealing with the same system’s inertia value upon lowering the inertia in different locations. To accomplish this objective, it is essential to analyze the inertia distribution of the examined power system following the alterations of inertia reduction location. Accordingly, an inherently previous work methodology, that estimates the relative distance of the system’s components to Center Of Inertia (COI), is utilized throughout this study. Both frequency response and small-signal stability are analyzed in light of the inertia distribution results. The thesis examines two different power systems, a small two-area model and a bigger more realistic power system. The former model, known as Kundur model, helps in building a conceptual process to apply the methodology and to benchmark the dynamics of interest. While the latter is a reduced model of the Swedish transmission grid, known as Nordic 32 model. Different scenarios of low inertia are considered to capture the current trend of integrating more Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and phasing out more conventional plants. DIgSILENT Powerfactory is the weapon of choice in this study. It is utilized to assess both the frequency stability by performing electromechanical transients’ simulations, and small-signal stability following modal analysis simulations.  Results show that the alterations of low inertia location are associated with variations in Instantaneous Frequency Deviation (IFD), Rate Of Change Of Frequency (ROCOF) and the damping ratio of the most critical inter-area oscillation mode. These variations have different levels of significance. Variations of the latter two metrics have the most considerable effects from the stability’s perspective. They can be utilized to prioritize the phasing out process of the conventional power plants, and to choose one of the scenarios of a specific low inertia location over the others. This helps in fulfilling proper long-term planning and short-term operation from the system operator’s perspective.
