Abstract

This thesis investigates the dynamic behavior and small-signal stability of renewable-energy-integrated power systems, and designs wide-area damping controllers to mitigate low-frequency oscillations in such systems. State-of-the-art measuring and forecasting techniques are utilised to obtain or estimate power system information that facilitates the design of these controllers.
Measurement rectification methodology is also proposed aiming to improve the quality of the received wide-area signals to produce more preferable oscillation mitigation outcomes. IEEE benchmark models are employed to verify the proposed control methods through simulation studies. From a holistic perspective, this thesis makes effort to the construction of sustainability-driven, engineering-informatics-enabled future grid.
