Influence of Induction Motor in Stability of Power System with High Penetration of Large-Scale PV

Inverter-Based Energy Resources (IBERs) have become an ordinary portion of the generation mix in power systems. Furthermore, converter-based technology has come to dominate modern motor loads on the consumption side. This transition in components towards accommodating power electronic devices alters the dynamic response of the power system. This paper investigates the impact of these elements on the dynamic stability of the power system. Firstly, this study successes to optimize a suitable model for converter-based motor loads. Secondly, indices of transient and voltage stabilities are used to quantify the strength of the power system at different circumstances incorporating the induction motor loads. Finally, this analysis provides an insight into the mutual interactions between transient and voltage stabilities. It is concluded that converter-based motor loads improve the voltage recovery when compared with direct-connected induction motors. However, the system is vulnerable to transient stability with the proliferation of inverter-based motor loads when IBERs dominant in the generation mix.
