Abstract

The synchronous generator (SG) plays a crucial role in power systems by serving as a stable and reliable source of electrical energy. The performance of an SG hinges on its standard parameters, which can be derived through dynamic tests. This study introduces a method for determining the standard parameters of an SG from dynamic tests conducted via power system simulation for engineering (PSS/E). The proposed method entails conducting several key tests on the generator, including a direct-load rejection test, excitation removal test, quadrature-axis load rejection test, arbitrary axis load rejection test, and open-circuit saturation test. The results obtained from these tests are then utilized to calculate the standard parameters of the SG accurately. To validate the effectiveness of the method, simulation data from the SG, as well as the designed initial data, are utilized. Statistical analysis reveals that the maximum relative error is equal to or less than 2.7% of the design values for all standard parameters, emphasizing the robustness and accuracy of the proposed method. The methodology presented in this study can complement field or site measurements, as it enables the verification of system parameters through dynamic simulations.

Abstract

Exciter and governor systems are critical to regulating power output and maintaining stability in power systems. Despite their significance, there is a lack of practical methodologies that leverage real power plant data for modeling, tuning, and validation. This research paper seeks to fill this gap by presenting a methodology that utilizes a transfer function and control algorithms for tuning and validation. The proposed approach is demonstrated through a case study of a practical combined-cycle power plant in Malaysia. The control algorithm's effectiveness is verified through MATLAB and Simulink simulations. Post-tuning assessments confirm the method’s ability to accurately determine tunable control parameter settings, meeting system requirements while ensuring grid stability and reliability. This versatile approach can be applied to various power plant configurations, making it a valuable tool for optimizing operations.

Abstract

Severe power system outages can lead to uncontrolled failures and system instability. Intentional controlled islanding is a strategy that deliberately splits the power system into balanced, stand-alone islands to ensure continuous electricity supply until full restoration. However, the execution of islanding may result in certain islands being unbalanced in terms of generation and load. In such cases, load shedding is implemented to achieve balanced stand-alone islands. Nevertheless, load shedding is not the best option as it will result in more users experiencing power disruptions. Therefore, this study explores the integration of battery energy storage systems (BESS) to enhance intentional controlled islanding, with the aim to form balance islands without the need to execute load shedding. This study evaluates the effectiveness of BESS in forming balanced islands and optimizing islanding strategies. The IEEE 30-bus and IEEE 118-bus test systems were used to validate the effectiveness of BESS in enhancing the intentional controlled islanding implementation. The results demonstrated the role of BESS in facilitating intentional controlled islanding, forming stable and balanced island operations without the need for a load shedding scheme. These findings highlight the potential of BESS to enhance the reliability and effectiveness of intentional controlled islanding.
