    Abstract: System strength is generally used to describe the voltage response performance under a disturbance and quantify the stability margin. The system strength indicated by short-circuit ratio (SCR) has provided a simple and intuitive reference for grid operators. However, the existing SCR-based methods rely on the premise that synchronous generators provide short-circuit capacity and voltage support. Due to this premise, these methods are unsuitable for renewables delivery systems with voltage source converter-based high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC), where all apparatuses are power-electronic interfaces. This paper aims to respond the system strength evaluation problem in terms of small-disturbance analysis. Firstly, the sensitivity transfer function matrix of the bus voltage to the renewables multi-feed current is derived and the relationship between the voltage performance and stability is illustrated; Secondly, the generalized short-circuit ratio is extended into the renewables VSC-HVDC delivery system based on the voltage-source equivalent modeling of VSC-HVDC; Then, by combing the apparatus critical SCR and generalized short-circuit ratio, a source-grid separation method can be further proposed to quantify the system strength of such a system. The proposed method can assess the static voltage stability margin or small-disturbance synchronous stability margin at the operating point and determine the critical bus of system strength and the optimization path of system strength improvement. Finally, the proposed method is verified by simulation in multiple wind plants with VSC-HVDC.

    Abstract: The temporary overvoltage (TOV) during fault recovery process of renewable energy system seriously restricts the development of renewable energy. However, the existing research lacks quantitative indicators of the TOV. Therefore, based on the mechanism of TOV, this paper proposes a method to quantify the TOV risk of multiple renewable energy station system (MRESS) considering the reactive power saturation characteristic. Firstly, based on the TOV mechanism of MRESS, the analysis model under different factors during fault recovery is established, and then the rationality of TOV assessment based on phasor model is demonstrated. After fully considering the saturation characteristics of converters after fault and the interaction between renewable energy generators, an evaluation method for TOV of MRESS is derived. Through analyzing the relationship between TOV of the system and short-circuit ratio, the temporary overvoltage short-circuit ratio (TOVSCR) of MRESS and its application method are proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively evaluate the TOV risk and safety margin of the MRESS.

    Abstract: The challenges of multi-area power system optimal dispatch exist on how to be in line with certain dispatching mode as well as on the modeling/solution. In this article, a multi-area system day-ahead scheduling, with a provincial systems-reducing method and a generation variances-minimizing objective, is proposed, based on the hierarchical dispatching organization and the long-term bilateral energy contract mode in China. Non-iteratively, the sub-optimal scheduling of ac/dc tie-lines and independent generation units can be derived from solving the model, which also considers some practical constraints like discrete constraints of dc power profiles and power flow limits of local ac interface, etc. Case study is carried out based on the realistic data from the multi-area hybrid ac/dc southern China power system, to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed model. It is demonstrated that with this method, the upper-level dispatching institution can generate an optimized and reliable transmission power plan with limited information, which decreases the peak-valley difference and standard variance of generation series, relieves the burden of peak regulation of its sub-systems, and hence improves the economic efficiency. The approach suits the dispatching mode of power systems in China well, handles various operation scenarios, and thus has been implemented in the system operator.
