Abstract:
Frequency stability management of asynchronously interconnected grids is becoming a great challenge. This paper investigates how asynchronous sending- and receiving-end grids can be operated in a synergistic and interactive manner to guarantee frequency stability following the worst case HVDC bipole block while still ensuring operational economy. A novel enhanced frequency stability constrained multiperiod optimal power flow model (EFOPF) with flexible fast-acting HVDC corrective control is proposed. EFOPF dynamically schedules the distribution of primary reserves and HVDC corrective actions to simultaneously handle postcontingency over- and under-frequency disturbances occurring in the sending- and receiving-end grids, respectively. An alternating direction method of multipliers based distributed algorithm was developed to solve this problem. A case study of a modified two-area RTS-96 system demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed EFOPF.
