As the proportion of wind power in new-type power systems increases year by year, its dynamic characteristics, especially fault ride-through characteristics, have a significant impact on power systems. To accurately analyze the impact of large-scale wind power on power systems, it is necessary to construct a white-box model that can characterize the actual dynamic characteristics of wind turbine. The white-box model has numerous parameters with interactive effects, and current parameter identification methods cannot achieve identification of the entire DFIG's fault ride-through, inner and outer controller parameters, limiting parameters, and electrical parameters, especially the accurate identification of parameters insensitive to external characteristics. To solve these problems, this paper constructs a frequency domain universal model for DFIG under fault ride-through conditions, which includes the DFIG itself and all controllers. The parameters are divided into four categories for step-by-step identification, proposing a categorized and integrated step-by-step identification method. The accuracy of the frequency domain universal model is verified through comparison with a simulation model, and the correctness of the proposed categorized and integrated step-by-step parameter identification method is validated by comparing the identified values with the real values.
With the access of numerous distributed generations such as wind turbines, photovoltaic generators, and energy storage devices, the composition and operation mode of the power grid are becoming increasingly complex, and more uncertain factors affect the recovery of the isolated grid voltage. Aiming at the problem of optimal control of isolated grid voltage under uncertain factors, a voltage control method for isolated grid is proposed, based on long short-term memory neural network optimized by improved particle swarm optimization algorithm. Firstly, the relationship between the gain of the distributed power controller and the performance of the isolated grid controller is analyzed. Then, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is utilized to optimize the hyper-parameters such as the learning rate and neuron number of the long short-term memory neural network, so as to prevent the hyper-parameters from selecting training effect affecting network improperly. Finally, the optimized long short-term memory neural network is mapped to the relationship between the voltage deviation of the distributed generation and the controller gain, and a voltage optimization control model for the isolated grid is constructed. The simulation results show that the voltage of the distributed generation is stabilized at 1 after 0.92 s, which indicates that the proposed optimal control method improves the voltage level of the isolated grid, verifying the effectiveness of the method.

According to the frequency modulation reserve capacity of traditional synchronous units and disturbance power, the system frequency modulation demand in different scenarios is analyzed, and the multi-time scale coordinated control strategy to actively support frequency of doubly-fed wind turbines is proposed. And based on the reserve capacity of traditional synchronous units, the frequency modulation dead zone value of doubly-fed wind turbines is designed, so that it can adaptively switch the inertia support and primary frequency regulation for different scenarios, and realize the full use of the frequency modulation reserve capacity of traditional synchronous units while giving full play to the rapid response ability of doubly-fed wind turbines.

Controlled islanding is an important measure to ensure the stability of power system and avoid widespread power outages. However, the traditional research methods based on single-objective optimization neglect the isolated network. To address this issue, a controlled islanding strategy considering the critical nodes in proposed in this paper. Firstly, based on the electrical connections and power flow distribution between nodes, an initial islanding surface is determined with the objective of minimizing power flow impact. Then, considering the electrical coupling connectivity of critical nodes, the final islanding scheme is selected within the neighborhood search space of the initial surface to enhance the stability of isolated subsystems after islanding. The proposed method is simulated and validated based on the 39-noded system, and the simulation results validate the effectiveness and superiority of the method.
When the regional power grid and the main network connection line trip, the regional power grid passively enters the isolated power grid operation. Due to the interaction of traditional unit primary frequency modulation (PFR), new energy control protection, and frequency and voltage control devices in the isolation power grid, it is difficult for traditional simulation calculation methods to accurately derive the stability evolution process of the isolated power grid. Therefore, dynamic real-time simulation methods are needed to accurately deduce the whole process of regional power grid from networking to isolated grid operation. This paper conducts in-depth research based on the case of passive isolated grid operation of power grid in a real area. Based on the constructed all-electromagnetic transient simulation model of all elements of the actual power grid, the whole process of the operation of the isolated network is inverted, and the action characteristics of each stage of the on-site accident are completely reproduced. Based on this case, the impact of new energy access on the stability of the isolated grid is carried out, the influence of the high voltage ride-through characteristics of the wind farm on the operation of the isolated grid is analyzed, and the operation strategy of increasing the proportion of new energy is conducive to reducing the frequency peak after the regional power grid passively enters the isolated grid, and the simulation verification is carried out. Based on the above research, this paper proposes a general method for dynamic analysis of isolated grid operation considering new energy access, which can be applied to guide the operation control plan for regional power grids.

Due to the lack of generators at sending end in the early operation stage of the DXB UHVDC project, if it passively entered into island operation mode, the system will encounter harmonic instability and will cause a great risk to the steady operation. In previous projects, the common solution is to disconnect AC filters and block bipolar DC with a certain time delay when receiving island operation signal. However HVDC system may block valves, cut generation capacity or shed power by error when receiving false island operation signal. Therefore, the blocking strategy at low power under passive island mode has been improved. In DXB UHVDC project, the power on AC tie lines is used as criteria for island operation to prevent false action. The logic and realization of the control strategy are illustrated, then RTDS simulations are carried out and it is verified that by judging the power on AC tie lines, the system can effectively prevent from entering island mode by error. Finally, the field test proved that the proposed improved strategy will not cause rejecting of the existing “island blocking logic”. The proposed strategy can be a reference to other DC projects.

Then, the proposed modeling method is applied to a voltage source converter (VSC) grid-connected system. Based on RTDS simulation, this paper revealed that a class of oscillations at a specific frequency are caused by the activation of the phase-locked loop (PLL) saturation. The frequency of the oscillation depends on the top and bottom boundaries of PLL saturation.
