        Description: The future sustainability of the Worlds Energy System (WES) rests on a massive and distributed penetration of renewable energy sources and their substantial increase in the generation mix. This phenomenon is already taking place at an ever-increasing pace (that is bound to speed up in the future) thanks to facilitating technologies such as power electronics. Therefore, conventional synchronous technology will gradually move from its dominant position towards a situation in which coordination with other and newer technologies will be mandatory. In fact, a situation in which the whole electricity demand of certain regions is supplied by electronic converters from renewable energy sources, at least temporarily, is possible or is already occurring. In this new situation there exists the urgent need to rethink current paradigms regarding the control and operation of conventional electric energy systems in order to address future scenarios (lower system inertia, faster dynamics, controller interactions, etc.). The main objective of this project is to provide the in-depth analysis of the control, operation and technology requirements for the newly created breed of electricity networks of low-to-nil conventional generation with increasing numbers of smart components (generators and loads, for example). This type of systems must include (a) alternating current (AC) sub-grids because of the large number of existing AC loads and the necessity of maintaining the compatibility with the conventional grid and (b) direct current (DC) sub-grids where most of the renewable-based generation can be more naturally integrated (see solar energy, for example), energy storage (batteries) can also be easily interfaced and some domestic and industrial loads can be connected (computers and electrical drives, for example). Currently, the operation of hybrid (DC/AC) electric grids is possible thanks to the use of electronic Voltage Source Converters (VSCs, abbreviated). This project will address the following specific topics: "Modelling, analysis, control, and quality of electrical grids with low-to-nil conventional generation in order to improve their flexibility thanks to the use of power electronics while similar levels of voltage control, quality and reliability of supply to those already achieved with conventional systems can be reached." This project is supported by the Spanish Government through the 2019 edition of its pre-doctoral contract programme with reference number PRE2019-088084

        Description: Modern power systems are characterised by (a) a gradual reduction of the number of synchronous generators powered by fossil or nuclear (fully controllable!) fuels; (b) proliferation of fast acting and smart generation units; (c) proliferation of renewable resources, not always fully controllable (wind and solar are two clear examples); and (d) proliferation of smart and robust loads. The main objective of the coordinated project (with Comillas [SP1] and Uni. de Alcalá [SP2]) is the comprehensive and holistic analysis and design of modern frequency-control-proving solutions in power systems with a high penetration of renewable resources with no inertia. First subproject (SP1) will review the concept of inertia in modern power systems and its importance in frequency and angle stability, with special attention to modern technology scenarios. Along these lines, SP1 will firstly review the concept of inertia in grid codes. Secondly, it will review currently used inertia estimation techniques. Since nowadays it seems that frequency does not change uniformly across the power system any more, SP1 will investigate inertia global estimation and estimation at bus level. Thirdly, the project will study algorithms to control variable inertial levels across the power system taking advantage of the flexibility of electronic generation and modern energy storage systems such as batteries or supercapacitors. Finally, SP1 will set up an experimental test rig to validate the most important contributions. The test rig will be integrated in the Electric Machine Laboratory of ICAI School of Engineering (Comillas) where several motor+synchronous generator groups are being prepared to have speed and voltage control. Unlike in SP2, the experimental focus will be placed on a system-wide approach.

        Description: Meshed DC grids have been possible for many years but the fantastic development of Voltage Source Converter (VSC) technology has made them practical, now. A hybrid DC-AC grid can make power systems more flexible than conventional AC systems although the specific advantages would strongly depend on the size of the power converters and energy reserves available. More specifically: DC/AC converter stations can support the voltage control in the AC system reducing the risk of voltage instability in the AC grid; DC/AC converter stations can support the AC system with additional damping in case of power oscillations in the AC grid, reducing the risk of angle instability due to poor damping in the AC grid; a DC grid can quickly supply additional power in a controlled manner to an area of the AC grid in case of emergency by extracting it from another area or from internal storage elements, reducing the risk of frequency instability. Noticeably, a DC grid can connect asynchronous AC grids to make a more efficient use of the spinning reserves in both systems. The purpose of this subproject is threefold. Firstly, researchers use tools for the analysis and operation of hybrid AC/VSC-based DC system, already developed in previous projects, to investigate all the above advantages and contributions of VSC-based DC grids at system level and, when necessary, extended those tools. Secondly, researchers collaborate with the other subproject to elaborate demonstration cases for the above properties to be tested in a laboratory prototype the other subproject built. The prototype have to be scaled to represent important characteristics of a real power system. Finally, researchers simulate the case studies experimentally verified in characteristic test power systems in the literature (larger size, voltage and power than those of the prototype) to confirm the results obtained. Among others, these simulation cover two specific aspects: (a) the two subprojects collaborate to use similar real-time platforms they are currently equipped with and (b) long term simulation runs are carried out to validate the results from the smart energy management systems investigated by members of the other subproject. A clear understanding of the potential contributions of DC meshed grids to improve the flexibility of AC bulk power systems should help to integrate renewable energy sources (often non-dispatchable) to the generation mix and, consequently, to the decarbonization of the electricity sector, which could then supply clean electricity to many other industrial sectors.

        Description: Island power systems (IPSs) are different from large interconnected systems because they are smaller in size and they are usually not interconnected to other systems. The lack of technical and economic support from neighboring systems makes IPSs more vulnerable to disturbances and causes higher system operating costs than interconnected systems. In addition to the small size, the increasing penetration of RES further challenges the reliability and in particular, frequency stability. Cascading failures underlie recent black-outs in IPSs and the mitigation of the propagation of such failures is widely recognized as a crucial aspect in increasing resilience. This proposal aims at addressing reliability and resilience of IPSs under high penetration of RES from an operation planning point of view by considering both preventive and corrective actions. This proposal consider preventive, frequency-stability-based power system splitting as a preventive action that can potentially enhance resilience, whereas preventive frequency-dynamic-based and corrective load-shedding-driven economic dispatches and unit commitments are implemented to improve reliability and frequency stability in particular.
