Abstract
The increasing penetration of converter-interfaced generators (CIGs) in
power systems has posed great challenges in frequency stability
analysis, as the frequency dynamics of CIGs may be strongly coupled with
voltage dynamics. However, existing analytical models for system
frequency generally cannot precisely account for the impact of voltage
dynamics, leading to potentially incorrect results. The main challenge
here is how to understand system frequency in the case of non-constant
bus voltages, and how to integrate the voltage dynamics of devices at
different bus locations into the system frequency model. To address this
issue, this article defines the voltage-influenced common-mode frequency
(VCMF), serving as a system frequency analysis model considering voltage
dynamics. The VCMF is derived through the decomposition of bus frequency
responses, leveraging the connection between the consistent part of bus
frequencies and the rotational invariance of power flow. The
decomposition process introduces voltage dynamics of devices into the
system frequency response, represented as a global term that
interconnects all devices through the power network. To address the
complexity of this global term, an algebraic graph theory-based network
partitioning method is introduced. This method effectively divides the
globally coupled term into several locally coupled components, making
the analysis of the VCMF more manageable. Finally, simulations are used
to validate the proposed methods and confirm their validity.
