A Unified Approach for Learning the Dynamics of Power System Generators and Inverter-based Resources

Shaohui Liu, Weiqian Cai, Hao Zhu et al.

The growing prevalence of inverter-based resources (IBRs) for renewable energy integration and electrification greatly challenges power system dynamic analysis. To account for both synchronous generators (SGs) and IBRs, this work presents an approach for learning the model of an individual dynamic component. The recurrent neural network (RNN) model is used to match the recursive structure in predicting the key dynamical states of a component from its terminal bus voltage and set-point input. To deal with the fast transients especially due to IBRs, we develop a Stable Integral (SI-)RNN to mimic high-order integral methods that can enhance the stability and accuracy for the dynamic learning task. We demonstrate that the proposed SI-RNN model not only can successfully predict the component's dynamic behaviors, but also offers the possibility of efficiently computing the dynamic sensitivity relative to a set-point change. These capabilities have been numerically validated based on full-order Electromagnetic Transient (EMT) simulations on a small test system with both SGs and IBRs, particularly for predicting the dynamics of grid-forming inverters.

Small-signal Stability of a Unified Single-unit Infinite-bus Swing-equation Model for Generators and Inverters

Debjyoti Chatterjee, Nathan Baeckeland, Bala Kameshwar Poolla et al.

We present a swing-equation model with generalized and equilibria-dependent inertia, damping, and synchronization constants for energy conversion interfaces with second-order active-power versus voltage-phasor-angle dynamics connected to an infinite bus. The model is unified in that prudent parameterization of the second-order angle-to-power transfer function aligns with reduced-order models for synchronous generators, grid-following inverters with fast frequency-response capability, and droop- and virtual synchronous generator-based grid-forming inverters. Parametric necessary and sufficient conditions to examine small-signal stability of angle equilibria are derived from the unified swing-equation model.
