Abstract

With the ever increasing penetration of renewable energy and power electronics, the current energy network is being transformed to power electronics dominated power system (PEDPS). Different from conventional power grid, PEDPS has its own characteristics such as much lower inertia, lower short circuit capacity, multi-timescale dynamic behavior, etc. These features bring tremendous challenges to the analysis, design, modeling and control of the modern power grid systems. Significant efforts have been made by researches to address these challenges, and also promote technological advancements for the entire modern power systems in terms of stability, reliability, flexibility, and efficiency.
