Influence of DC-Bus Voltage on Synchronization Stability of Grid-Following Converters

Abstract

Abstract:

With the increasing penetration of new energy sources and the development of new power systems, grid-following converter (GFL) plays a crucial role in maintaining the stability of power systems. However, existing transient stability analyses of GFLs assume that the direct current (DC) side behaves as a constant-voltage source, neglecting the effects of DC-bus voltage control. This paper aims to investigate the transient instability mechanism of GFL considering DC-bus voltage control. First, a transient synchronous stability model considering DC voltage control is established, followed by an analysis of the transient synchronous stability of GFL under DC-bus voltage control. The findings indicate that DC voltage control increases the active current reference value and decreases the equivalent damping of the GFL, which in turn reduces its transient synchronous stability of GFL. By increasing the proportional coefficient or reducing the integral coefficient of DC-bus voltage control, transient synchronous stability can be appropriately improved. Finally, the theoretical analysis is validated through MATLAB/Simulink simulations.

Key words: grid-following converter (GFL), transient synchronous stability, DC-bus voltage control, phase-locked loop (PLL)
