Abstract
The transient dynamics of conventional power systems are dominated by synchronous generators, and low-inertia inverters serve as the primary interface between power systems and renewable energy resources. Increasing penetration levels of inverter-interfaced generation are impacting the transient dynamics of power systems. In this paper, we attempt to quantify these impacts at different penetration levels. An elementary system including one inverter, one synchronous generator, and one load is studied under different parameter variations to assess the transient dynamics of the system. To quantify transient stability, the post-fault regions of attraction of the system are estimated by the sample-based basin stability approach with parallel computing technology. The simulation results suggest that different inverter penetration levels, inertias of the generator, inverter controller gains, and phase-locked loop controller gains have a clear impact on the regions of attraction as well as on the transient dynamics of proposed systems.
