Abstract

This paper shows the influence of grid frequency oscillations on synchronous machines coupled to masses with large moments of inertia and solves the maximum permissible value of a moment of inertia on the shaft of a synchronous machine in respect to the oscillation of grid frequency. Grid frequency variation causes a load angle to swing on the synchronous machines connected to the grid. This effect is particularly significant in microgrids. This article does not consider the effects of other components of the system, such as the effects of frequency, voltage, and power regulators.

Highlights

  • The idea of grid voltage having a coherent sinusoidal course with constant frequency does not correspond with the reality of phenomena occurring in the distribution grid

  • Grid frequency variation causes a load angle to swing in the synchronous machines connected to the grid

  • The grid frequency variation spectrum shape grows the inertial moment on the shaft of the synchronous machine while growing the swinging amplitude

Summary

Introduction

The idea of grid voltage having a coherent sinusoidal course with constant frequency does not correspond with the reality of phenomena occurring in the distribution grid. The greater the inertial masses on the shaft are in comparison to the size of a synchronous machine, the greater the dynamic deviation of the following fast grid phase changes and load angle oscillations will be [6]. Since an electromechanical system (a synchronous machine and its inertial masses) has very low oscillation dumps, the load angles, excited by distribution grid frequency fluctuations, have a harmonic swinging character. They are accompanied by an undesirable overflow of energy between the grid and the inertial masses on the shaft
