Enabling Small-Signal Stability Analysis of Black-Box Voltage Source Converters in Large-Scale Modern Power Systems
Luis A. Garcia-Reyes, Josep Arévalo-Soler, Oriol Gomis-Bellmunt +5
Modern power systems increasingly rely on power electronic converters, yet many of these devices are provided as black-box models, limiting the applicability of conventional small-…
Performance of Differential Protection Applied to Collector Cables of Offshore Wind Farms with MMC-HVDC Transmission
Moisés J. B. B. Davi, Felipe V. Lopes, VinÃcius A. Lacerda +2
The ongoing global transition towards low-carbon energy has propelled the integration of offshore wind farms, which, when combined with Modular Multilevel Converter-based High-Volt…
SIaD-Tool: A Comprehensive Frequency-Domain Tool for Small-Signal Stability and Interaction Assessment in Modern Power Systems
Luis A. Garcia-Reyes, Oriol Gomis-Bellmunt, Eduardo Prieto-Araujo +2
This paper presents SIaD-Tool, an open-source frequency-domain (FD) scanning solution for stability and interaction assessment in modern power systems. The tool enables multi-seque…
Influence of converter current limiting and prioritization on protection of highly IBR-penetrated networks
Andrés E. Quintero, VinÃcius A. Lacerda, Oriol Gomis-Bellmunt +2
This paper investigates how grid-forming (GFM) and grid-following (GFL) control strategies in inverter-based resources (IBRs) influence line distance and differential protection in…
Optimizing Offshore Wind Integration through Multi-Terminal DC Grids: A Market-Based OPF Framework for the North Sea Interconnectors
Bernardo Castro Valerio, VinÃcius Albernaz Lacerda, Marc Cheah-Mañe +2
Interconnecting price zones and remote renewable energy sources has emerged as a key solution to achieving climate goals. The objective of this work is to present a formulation tha…
