Harmonic Power-Flow Study of Hybrid AC/DC Grids with Converter-Interfaced Distributed Energy Resources

Mario Paolone, Yihui Zuo, Johanna Kristin Maria Becker, Andreas Martin Kettner

As the share of Converter-Interfaced Distributed Energy Resources (CIDERs) in power distribution systems increases, hybrid AC/DC distribution systems are drawing more interest. Indeed, CIDERs usually rely on DC power and hybrid AC/DC grids with few Network ...

LTP Modeling and Analysis of Frequency Coupling in PLL-Synchronized Converters for Harmonic Power Flow Studies

Mario Paolone, Yihui Zuo, Johanna Kristin Maria Becker

As known, nonlinear loads in power systems originate harmonic distortion and power quality issues. Converter-interfaced loads exhibit a nonlinear behaviour as well and may largely contribute to increase the harmonic pollution. The nonlinearities introduced ...

OPF-driven Under Frequency Load Shedding in Low-Inertia Power Grids Hosting Large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems

Mario Paolone, Asja Derviskadic, Yihui Zuo

The paper describes the formulation and application of an Optimal Power Flow (OPF)-driven Under Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) scheme in low-inertia power grids hosting large-scale battery energy storage systems. Thanks to the accurate prediction of the sy ...

Impact of battery energy storage systems on the dynamic behavior of low-inertia power grids

Yihui Zuo

The extensive deployment of non-synchronous generation determines lower level of grid inertia resulting in deteriorated frequency containment performance and abnormal frequency excursions in case of contingency. This calls for identifying assets, controls, ...

Performance assessment of grid-forming and grid-following converter-interfaced battery energy storage systems on frequency regulation in low-inertia power grids

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Yihui Zuo, Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Antonio Zecchino, Zhao Yuan

Power systems with large shares of converter-interfaced renewables may be characterised by low grid inertia due to the lack of frequency containment provided by synchronous generators. Battery energy storage systems (BESSs), which can adjust their power ou ...

Frequency stability assessment of modern power systems: Models definition and parameters identification

Mario Paolone, Yihui Zuo, Giacomo Piero Schiapparelli

One of the fundamental concerns in the operation of modern power systems is the assessment of their frequency stability in case of inertia-reduction induced by the large share of power electronic interfaced resources. Within this context, the paper propose ...

Effect of voltage source converters with electrochemical storage systems on dynamics of reduced-inertia bulk power grids

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Yihui Zuo

A major concern associated to the massive connection of distributed energy resources is the increasing share of power electronic interfaces resulting in the global inertia reduction of power systems. The recent literature advocated the use of voltage sourc ...
