Joint primary frequency regulation strategy for asynchronous power grids connected by a VSC‐MTDC system

Abstract Asynchronous interconnection will reduce the inertia of each grid, and it is difficult for a small inertia grid to maintain frequency stability under the fluctuation of new energy or load. In order to improve the frequency stability of asynchronous power grids connected by a voltage source...

description Abstract Asynchronous interconnection will reduce the inertia of each grid, and it is difficult for a small inertia grid to maintain frequency stability under the fluctuation of new energy or load. In order to improve the frequency stability of asynchronous power grids connected by a voltage source converters based multi‐terminal direct current (VSC‐MTDC) system, a joint primary frequency regulation (JPFR) strategy is proposed in this paper. The main principle of the proposed JPFR strategy is firstly to formulate frequency regulation protocols (FRPs) between asynchronous power grids. Next, an improved analytical steady‐state model of the VSC‐MTDC system is adopted. The improved model can calculate the power reference of each VSC according to the FRP, avoiding the impact on the grid not participating in the protocol. Then, based on the sequential search method, the results of the improved model are modified to prevent overload. Finally, simulations of a four‐terminal VSC‐MTDC system are carried out for validating the proposed JPFR strategy.
