Abstract

High penetration of Renewable Generation Units (RGU), has led to that the interaction of this newfound participators in power network with conventional units be more critical challenges for network operators. Effect on the phase stability in emplacement as well as on neighbor generation units is one of this essential challenges. In this paper, a RGU controlled by Synchronous Power Controller (SPC) which behaves as a big Static Synchronous Generation (SSG-SPC) units, are presented as solution to cope with this challenge. Small signal modelling of a power network in presence of SSG-SPC unit is used to analysis this solution. After illustrating SPC dynamic capabilities, study on IEEE-14B test system based on modal analysis, time domain investigation and real time test confirms that a SSG-SPC not only has not damaging impact on phase stability and dynamic of network, but on the contrary can improve it. Moreover, by having at least two dynamic freedom degrees in SPC, the SSG-SPC can adapt itself for keeping this improvement effect.
