Transient Synchronizing Stability Quantitative Assessment of Converter-Based Resources by Basin of Attraction

As the converter-based renewable power generation has been extensively integrated into grid, the transient synchronizing stability accidents of gird induced by voltage source convert (VSC) are emerging more and more frequently and severely. In this paper, the transient synchronizing dynamics of the VSC are depicted by a reduced-order model. Then, its transient synchronizing stability is examined and analyzed by the large-signal basin of attraction (BOA) of the VSC. The system shows two kinds of boundaries of the BOA under different parameters, including the closed-loop area and the fish-like area. The boundary of the closed-loop area is depicted by the equipotential plane estimation based on the energy function. The boundary of the fish-like area is estimated through the method of hyperplane in the first quadrant. Meanwhile, the transient synchronizing stability criteria can be established based on the estimated boundaries and the numerically integral fault trajectories. Furthermore, the critical clearing angle (CCA) is analytical calculated through the analytically derived fault trajectory under the worst fault conditions. Meanwhile, the critical clearing times (CCT) can also be analytical calculated. Both the analytical CCA and CCT can provide enough margin for the transient control and protection. Finally, several simulations have verified the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method in MATLAB.
