Plane Wave Dynamic Model of Electric Power Networks with High Shares of Inverter-Based Resources (2401.16703v1)

Published 30 Jan 2024 in eess.SY and cs.SY

Abstract: Contemporary theories and models for electric power system stability are predicated on a widely held assumption that the mechanical inertia of the rotating mass of synchronous generators provides the sole contribution to stable and synchronized operation of this class of complex networks on subsecond timescales. Here we formulate the electromagnetic momentum of the field around the transmission lines that transports energy and present evidence from a real-world bulk power network that demonstrates its physical significance. We show the classical stability model for power networks that overlooks this property, known as the "swing equation", may become inadequate to analyze systems with high shares of inverter-based resources, commonly known as "low-inertia power systems". Subsequently, we introduce a plane wave dynamic model, consistent with the structural properties of emerging power systems with up to 100% inverter-based resources, which identifies the concept of inertia in power grids as a time-varying component. We leverage our theory to discuss a number of open questions in the electric power industry. Most notably, we postulate that the changing nature of power networks with a preponderance of variable renewable energy power plants could strengthen power network stability in the future; a vision which is irreconcilable with the conventional theories.
