Abstract
Many traditional emergency control schemes in power systems accompany with power interruption, yielding severely economic damages to customers. Aiming at alleviating this remarkable drawback, this paper sketches the ideas of a viable alternative for traditional remedial controls for power grids with high penetration of renewables, in which the renewables are integrated with synchronverters to mimic the dynamics of conventional generators. In this novel emergency control scheme, the power electronics resources are exploited to control the inertia and damping of the imitated generators in order to quickly compensate for the deviations caused by fault and thereby bound the fault-on dynamics and stabilize the power system under emergency situations. The control design is based on solving convex optimization problems tractable for large scale power grids. This emergency control not only saves investments and operating costs for modern and future power systems, but also helps to offer seamless electricity service to customers. Simple numerical simulation will be used to illustrate the concept of this paper.
