- Abstract
- The utility scale of non-conventional generators (NCGs), such as wind and photovoltaic (PV) plants, are competitive alternatives to synchronous machines (SMs) for power generation. Higher penetration of NCGs has been respondent of causing several recent incidents leading up to voltage collapse in power systems due to the distinct characteristics of NCGs under different operating conditions. Consequently, the so-called system strength has been reduced with higher NCGs penetration. A number of indices have been developed to quantify system strength from the short-term voltage stability (STVS) perspective. None of the indices capture the overall performances of power systems on dynamic voltage recovery. In this paper, an improvement in one of the STVS indices namely, the Voltage Recovery Index (VRI), is proposed to overcome shortcomings in the original index. Moreover, the improved index is globalized to establish a new index defined as system voltage recovery index (VRIsys) to quantify STVS at the system level. The amended VRI and developed VRIsys are used in systematic simulations to quantify the impact and interaction of various factors that could affect system strength. The assessment was conducted using time-domain simulation with direct connected induction motors (DCIMs) and a proliferation of converter-based technologies on both the generation and load sides, namely, NCGs and Variable Speed Drives (VSDs), respectively. © 2013 IEEE.
