description The development of electric power systems determines the growing probability of low-frequency oscillations, which can be reason of system faults. Traditionally, the task of damping low-frequency oscillations is assigned to synchronous generators, by appropriate setting of the automatic voltage regulator parameters. However, as the installed capacity of renewable generation units increases, research aimed to analyse the impact of these generation units on the power oscillations in the electric power system is becoming more relevant. Moreover, an evaluation of the potential of renewables to solve the problems of power oscillation damping seems necessary to expand the operation functions of the these generation units and to increase the stability of the electric power systems. This paper presents an analysis of renewable energy plants, in particular photovoltaic stations, on damping of these power oscillations. Achieving such damping function is possible via upgrading the automatic control system of photovoltaic stations by using a synthetic inertia block and the possibilities of the “underload” mode. Different scenarios, including small disturbances and severe fault condition for strong and weak grids depending on the location and capacity of photovoltaic station were considered. To evaluate the impact of renewable generation unit to the damping properties of electric power system, the transient damping ratio was calculated. The calculation was carried out in accordance with the guidelines in case of three-phase short-circuit for a different penetration level of renewable generation unit, as well as with and without the synthetic inertia block.
