Non-Network Solution Coordinated Voltage Stability Enhancement With STATCOM and UVLS for Wind-Penetrated Power System

This paper proposes an effect orientated approach to enhance the short-term voltage stability for wind-penetrated power systems. The low system stability with high uncertain renewable energy is addressed by coordination of network and non-network solutions, i.e., STATCOM placement and UVLS respectively in this paper. The proposed model considers the uncertainties of power systems, including operating points load dynamics and multiple contingencies. Unlike other methods that try to minimize the cost, the proposed method aims to maximize the voltage stability enhancement with a fixed cost. The high computing burden is alleviated by a net flow-based scenario reduction algorithm. Compared with the conventional approaches, this paper has three major contributions: 1) Device placement is coordinated with demand response. 2) Operating points and type 4 wind turbines are considered. 3) An effect maximizing DP algorithm with a robust scenario reduction method is applied. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated on the New England 39-bus test system.
