Stability Analysis of Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Systems with Dynamic Phasor Model

The typical layout of power systems is experiencing significant change, due to the high penetration of renewable energy sources (RESs). The ongoing evaluation of power systems is expecting more detailed and accurate mathematical modeling approaches for RESs which are dominated by power electronics. Although modeling techniques based on state–space averaging (SSA) have traditionally been used to mathematically represent the dynamics of power systems, the performance of such a model-based system degrades under high switching frequency. The multi-frequency averaging (MFA)-based higher-index dynamic phasor modeling tool is proposed in this paper, which is entirely new and can provide better estimations of dynamics. Dynamic stability analysis is presented in this paper for the MFA-based higher-index dynamical model of single-stage single-phase (SSSP) grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems under different switching frequencies.
