Theoretical Examination of Small-Signal Impedance Models of Inverter-Based Resources
Meng, Lei; Karaağaç, Ulaş; Chan, Ka Wing; Ghafouri, Mohsen; Mahseredjian, Jean (2025-01-01)
Various impedance modeling methods have been developed in different reference frames for the impedance-based stability assessment (IBSA) of inverter-based resources (IBRs). In practice, these impedance models are extracted...
Computationally Efficient Impedance Scanning Approach for Inverter-based Resources
Ouyang, Chenxi; Furlaneto, Renan M.; Meng, Lei; Jacobs, Keijo; Xue, Tao; Karaağaç, Ulaş; Mahseredjian, Jean (2024-01-01)
Impedance-based stability assessment (IBSA) is an effective method to study sub-synchronous control interaction (SSCI) with inverter-based resources (IBRs) in modern power systems. An IBR's required frequency-dependent imp...
State-Space Models for Control Interaction Analysis of DFIG and FSC Wind Parks
