Optimal placement of inertia and primary control in high voltage power grids

Philippe René Joseph Jacquod, Laurent Vincent Pagnier

The energy transition's ultimate goal is to meet energy demand from human activities sustainably. Accordingly, the penetration of new renewable energy sources (RES) such as photovoltaic panels and wind turbines is increasing in most power grids. In their c ...

Optimal Placement of Inertia and Primary Control: A Matrix Perturbation Theory Approach

Philippe René Joseph Jacquod

The increasing penetration of new renewable sources of electrical energy reduces the overall mechanical inertia available in power grids. This raises a number of issues regarding grid stability over short to medium time scales. A number of approaches have ...

Global robustness versus local vulnerabilities in complex synchronous networks

Philippe René Joseph Jacquod

In complex network-coupled dynamical systems, two questions of central importance are how to identify the most vulnerable components and how to devise a network making the overall system more robust to external perturbations. To address these two questions ...

Inertia location and slow network modes determine disturbance propagation in large-scale power grids

Philippe René Joseph Jacquod, Laurent Vincent Pagnier

Conventional generators in power grids are steadily substituted with new renewable sources of electric power. The latter are connected to the grid via inverters and as such have little, if any rotational inertia. The resulting reduction of total inertia ra ...

Rate of change of frequency under line contingencies in high voltage electric power networks with uncertainties

Philippe René Joseph Jacquod, Melvyn Sandy Tyloo, Robin Delabays

In modern electric power networks with fast evolving operational conditions, assessing the impact of contingencies is becoming more and more crucial. Contingencies of interest can be roughly classified into nodal power disturbances and line faults. Despite ...

The key player problem in complex oscillator networks and electric power grids: Resistance centralities identify local vulnerabilities

Philippe René Joseph Jacquod, Melvyn Sandy Tyloo

Identifying key players in coupled individual systems is a fundamental problem in network theory. We investigate synchronizable network-coupled dynamical systems such as high-voltage electric power grids and coupled oscillators on complex networks. We defi ...

The size of the sync basin revisited

Philippe René Joseph Jacquod, Robin Delabays

In dynamical systems, the full stability of fixed point solutions is determined by their basins of attraction. Characterizing the structure of these basins is, in general, a complicated task, especially in high dimensionality. Recent works have advocated t ...

A predictive pan-European economic and production dispatch model for the energy transition in the electricity sector

Philippe René Joseph Jacquod

The energy transition is well underway in most European countries. It has a growing impact on electric power systems as it dramatically modifies the way electricity is produced. To ensure a safe and smooth transition towards a panEuropean electricity produ ...
