Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

New energy, represented by wind power and photovoltaic power, has been integrated into the power grid on a large scale. At the same time, with the approach of carbon balance targets, distributed new energy and offshore wind power are also developing rapidly. The integration of large-scale new energy is changing the traditional transmission mode and power grid structure, such as in the examples of LCC-HVDC, VSC-HVDC, AC/DC hybrid interconnection, and asynchronous interconnection, among others. This brings many new challenges regarding the frequency control in power systems, including the strong volatility and uncertainty of new energy, the lack of flexibility of the system, the reduction in power system inertia, the addition of new energy, energy storage, and HVDC as new frequency modulation resources, and cooperative scheduling control among HVDC interconnection areas.

To address these challenges, this Special Issue sincerely invites scholars to submit manuscripts detailing their latest research and welcomes reviews about local frequency control of new energy units or energy storage, the frequency control of the regional control center, and multi-area frequency coordination control between AC/DC hybrid interconnection areas. Any technologies, methods, or comments on the latest research in this field that can improve the frequency modulation capability or frequency stability of AC/DC hybrid systems with large-scale new energy integration are within the scope of this issue.

Facing the challenges of grid stability brought by the large-scale access of new energy to the grid, as one of the important means of frequency regulation of the grid, the doubly-fed pumped-storage units (DFPSU) have great practical significance in the study of the joint frequency regulation strategy with the thermal power unit (TPU). In order to reduce the frequency regulation pressure on the grid caused by the large-scale entry of new energy sources, this paper proposes a joint frequency regulation strategy for the TPU and DFPSU. Based on establishing the optimal scheduling model of the system, taking into account the minimum total operating cost and the optimal time as goals, the chaotic particle swarm optimization (CPSO) is proposed to solve the model. Finally, through MATLAB simulation, the relevant examples are studied and analyzed, and the simulation results verify that the joint frequency regulation strategy in this paper can effectively improve the frequency regulation performance of the unit and the operation economy is good.

It has become a basic requirement for wind turbines (WTs) to provide frequency regulation and inertia support. The influence of WTs on the low-frequency oscillation (LFO) of the system will change after adopting inertia control methods. This paper intends to investigate and compare in detail the IC effects on LFO characteristics in two systems with different structures. First, the mechanism of inertia control of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based WTs is analyzed. Then, the small-signal analysis method and modal analysis method are used to study the influence of the inertia control on the LFO characteristics based on the two-machine infinite-bus system and the four-machine two-area system, respectively. The difference in impact rules of IC on LFO is compared in detail. Finally, considering that the inertia control might worsen the LFO in some systems, an improved inertia control strategy of DFIG-based WTs is proposed to suppress the LFO. The simulation results demonstrate that, in systems with different structures, the impact rules of the inertia control parameters on LFO are different. With the improved inertia control strategy, DFIG-based WTs can suppress the LFO of the system and provide inertia support for the system. Full article
