The goal Operating modes of grid-side inverters in DC and AC systems. Control algorithms, synchronization and protection mechanisms. Primary, secondary and tertiary contours. Converters in transmission and distribution networks and their impact on U-Q and P-f contours, stability, power distribution, quality of electricity and protection.
The outcome Introduction to the principles of operation of grid-side converters in load-side, grid-side and bus-side roles in transmission, distribution and micro-networks. Understanding the influence of control structures on the dynamic properties of the inverter and performance in transmission and distribution. Understanding the basic control loops of grid-side converters.
Contents
Contents of lectures Typical grid-side inverters as voltage actuators. Basic characteristics, disturbances and the noise. Control structures for U, I, P, Q control. Influence of the output admittance on the grid stability. The influence of the inverter dynamic properties on propagation and damping of electromechanical waves in power systems.
