Abstract

Similar to the traditional ac grids, a secure operation of near future grids with high penetration of converter-interfaced generations (CIGs) including grid-forming converters (GFCs) following a single-point failure, i.e., an (N-1) contingency, is a fundamental problem during the contingency screening and ranking. The increasing CIGs introduce dynamics of different time scales and may change the dynamic behaviors of the grid under (N-1) contingencies. This paper focuses on the contingency analysis of such grids following synchronous generator (SG) outages i.e., the impact of GFCs following a SG outage on such analysis due to their dc-side current limits. To this end, an averaged model of GFCs is developed, and the dc side dynamics and the current limits are also modeled. Then, a revised online/offline generator outage contingency screening and ranking approach to take into account the effect of dc-link voltage collapse of GFCs is proposed. Finally, the proposed approach is validated using the time-domain simulation on a modified 2-area 4-machine test system with a GFC.
