Stability Constrained Optimization in High IBR-Penetrated Power Systems-Part I: Constraint Development and Unification
Abstract
Conventional power system optimization framework is becoming less reliable and efficient due to the stability issues brought by the ever-increasing inverter-interfaced renewable penetration. To ensure system stability during system operation and to provide appropriate incentives in the future market-based stability maintenance framework, it is essential to develop a comprehensive set of power system stability constraints which can be incorporated into system optimization. In this paper, different system stability issues, including synchronization, voltage and frequency stability, are investigated and the corresponding stability conditions are analytically formulated as system operational constraints. A unified framework is further proposed to represent the stability constraints in a general form and enable effective reformulation of the impedance-based stability metrics. All the constraints are converted into linear or Second-Order-Cone (SOC) form, which can be readily implemented in any optimization-based applications, such as system scheduling, planning and market design, thus providing significant value for multiple system stability enhancement and studies.
