| * | Abbreviated name: | CRESIPS | | | Project title: | Counteracting the REduction of Synchronous Inertia in Power Systems (CRESIPS): PID2021-1-125628OB-C21 | | | Funding entity: | Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI) | | | Start date: | September 2022 | | | End date: | August 2025 | | | Researcher(s): | Aurelio García Cerrada, Francisco Miguel Echavarren Cerezo, Fidel Fernández Bernal, Luis Rouco Rodríguez, Enrique Lobato Miguélez, Ignacio Egido Cortés, Álvaro Ortega Manjavacas, Régulo Enrique Ávila Martínez | | | 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.

| | | | | | * | Abbreviated name: | OPEMRES_MTHVDC | | | Project title: | Improvement of tools for the analysis of AC/DC hybrid power systems with massive penetration of renewable energy sources and test-case scenarios (TED2021-130610B-C22) | | | Funding entity: | Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación | | | Start date: | December 2022 | | | End date: | November 2024 | | | Researcher(s): | Aurelio García Cerrada, Andrés Tomás Martín, Francisco Miguel Echavarren Cerezo, Fidel Fernández Bernal, Luis Rouco Rodríguez, Enrique Lobato Miguélez, Ignacio Egido Cortés, Javier García Aguilar, Carlos David Zuluaga Ríos | | | 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.
