description The integration of large-scale photovoltaics (PVs) into the power grid has significantly altered the transient synchronization dynamics of traditional power systems dominated by synchronous generators (SGs) and posed great challenges to modeling and analysis of PVs integration. In this paper, the transient synchronization stability of the PV-SG system is studied using the singular perturbation technique. Firstly, a nonlinear model of a PV-SG system is established to reveal the multiscale transient synchronization characteristics. Further, the full system is decomposed into a slow subsystem and a fast subsystem by the singular perturbation technique. The fast subsystem containing the dynamics of the DC voltage control, terminal voltage control, and phase-locked loop, and the slow subsystem containing the dynamics of rotor motion can perfectly reflect the dynamics of the full system within the electromagnetic and electromechanical timescales, respectively. The proposed model provides a clearer physical picture of dynamics in the PV-SG system within the electromagnetic and electromechanical timescales. Subsequently, the stability of the slow and fast subsystems is investigated using the energy function and eigenvalue analysis methods, respectively. Meanwhile, the impacts of various operating, control, and structural parameters on the transient synchronization stability are uncovered. Different from the most existing research endeavors on the wide simulations of the PVs integration, the impact of PVs on the synchronization dynamics of SGs without considering the dynamical characteristics of the PV system, and the transient synchronization stability analyses of the PLL-based voltage source converter systems, it is the key contribution to study the transient synchronization dynamical characteristics of the PV system and its interaction with the SG under different timescales. All these are helpful and easy to extend to more complicated PV-SG systems. Finally, the analysis results are validated by extensive simulations.
