Abstract

The increasing penetration of inverter based renewable generation (RG) in the form of solar photo-voltaic (PV) or wind has introduced numerous operational challenges and uncertainties. According to the standards [1], [2], these generators are made to trip offline if their operating requirements are not met. In an RG-rich system, this might alter the system dynamics and/or cause shifting of the equilibrium points to the extent that a cascaded tripping scenario is manifested. The present work attempts at avoiding such scenarios by estimating the constrained stability region (CSR) inside which the system must operate using maximal level set of a Lyapunov function estimated through sum of squares (SOS) technique. A time-independent conservative approximation of the LVRT constraint is initially derived for a classical model of the power system. The proposed approach is eventually validated by evaluating the stability of a 3 machine test system with trip-able RG.
