Loadability Limits Under Periodic Load Forcing
Maitraya Avadhut Desai, Gustavo Valverde, Gabriela Hug
The static loadability limit, defined as the demand at which the equilibrium equations lose their solution, is the standard basis for interconnection screening of large new loads.…
Generalized Vector Locus Transformation for Unbalanced Three-Phase Systems
Maitraya Avadhut Desai, Francisco Escobar, Gabriela Hug
Coordinate transformations significantly simplify power systems computations. Most notably, the classical Clarke and transformations are widely used in three-phase systems, a…
Dynamic Optimization of Virtual Inertia and Damping in Converter-Based Power Systems
Jovan Krajacic, Maitraya Avadhut Desai, Ognjen Stanojev +1
The transition towards a sustainable power system is enabled by the replacement of conventional synchronous generators with converter-interfaced renewable energy sources. However,…
Effect of Dispatch Decisions on Small-Signal Stability of Converter-Dominated Power Systems
Maitraya Avadhut Desai, Ognjen Stanojev, Simon Muntwiler +1
Small-signal stability of modern converter-dominated power systems has been the subject of extensive research, particularly from the perspective of device-level control design for…
Network-Independent Incremental Passivity Conditions for Grid-Forming Inverter Control
Jared Miller, Maitraya Avadhut Desai, Xiuqiang He +2
Grid-forming inverters control the power transfer between the AC and DC sides of an electrical grid while maintaining the frequency and voltage of the AC side. This paper focuses o…
Cross-Forming Control and Fault Current Limiting for Grid-Forming Inverters
Xiuqiang He, Maitraya Avadhut Desai, Linbin Huang +1
This article proposes a "cross-forming" control concept for grid-forming inverters operating against grid faults. Cross-forming refers to voltage angle forming and current magnitud…
