Abstract
The reliability of power systems with high penetration of renewables, a fast response mechanism, and precise decision-making scheme is more important than ever. This study presented a novel scheme that utilizes the predicted frequency nadir after a generation trip event to initiate necessary ancillary services such as fast spinning reserve units, energy storage units, and demand responses to restore the frequency back to the secure operating range. The proposed scheme coordinates Under-Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) with ancillary services in the sense that the unnecessary load shedding can be avoided. By using the proposed scheme, the system becomes more resilient against disturbances, and the actions of load shedding are minimized. In this scheme, the frequency data is captured by phasor measurement units (PMUs), and a frequency nadir prediction algorithm is proposed. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme by using 1700-bus power system simulations and realistic frequency data from real generation trip events captured by a laboratory micro-phasor measurement unit (μPMU).
