Electrical and Computer Engineering Seminar: Kai Sun
2020-02-27 11:00 - 12:00 | 442 Dana, 360 Huntington Ave, 442 DA, Boston, MA, 02115, United States
Location: Dana 442
Seminar Title: A More Resilient Power Grid with Faster-Than-Real-Time Stability
Abstract:
Since the northeast blackout of 1965, cascading blackouts have continued to happen on power grids in the North America and other countries. For a grid operator, it is vitally important to be aware of real-time stability and reliability margin for the current grid state under possible disturbances. However, a real-world power grid is an extremely complex, nonlinear network system. For instance, the bulk electric system of a US power grid is typically modeled by nonlinear DAEs on 5,000+ electric machines and 50,000+ nodes. Fast stability analysis and simulation of such a large-scale dynamical system subject even to a single disturbance is quite challenging. In the next decade, renewable generation, such as power electronics-interfaced distributed energy resources, will reach 30%-50% in power grids of many countries. That can further increase the complexity of a power grid, change its dynamic characteristics and bring more uncertainties and challenges to real-time grid operations. For a more resilient grid, the power industry is looking forward to emerging technologies that enable “faster-than-real-time” stability assessment and adaptive, distributed control to prevent and mitigate cascading power outages. The speaker will share his visions and research in this field and introduce two promising enabling approaches established with ongoing supports from NSF and DOE: 1) faster-than-real-time grid simulation using a semi-analytical approach, and 2) grid stability assessment and control based on a new method named “Nonlinear Modal Decoupling” and the utilization of wide-area measurements and distributed energy resources.
