Evaluation of VSC Impact on Power System Using Adequate P-Q Capability Curve

Renewable energy sources, which are becoming increasingly popular, often use a voltage source converter (VSC) for connection to the power system. Assessing the effects of connecting such a source to the power system is essential to ensure the proper operation of the power system and the connected source. For this purpose, it is necessary to know the range of active and reactive power generation by the converter. The authors indicate that the interaction between the power system and the converter affects its range of available active and reactive power. Therefore, a strictly defined range of the converter’s generating capability should not be assumed as invariant, but its capability for a given operating condition of the power system should be determined iteratively. In order to confirm this thesis, the authors analyzed the operation of the VSC-based energy source in an example power system using the PowerFactory software. Extending the calculation procedure to include iterative determination of the converter’s available power range showed a significant influence of the system’s operating state on the converter’s generating capabilities. The results obtained in this work extend the knowledge, and thanks to them, the operation of VSC systems can be modelled more accurately.
