Abstract

High penetration of Power Electronic (PE) converters in DC power grids has caused new stability challenges due to dynamic interactions among a network’s subsystems. Dynamic interactions can be avoided by the impedance coordination between the subsystems through the modification of control loops or passive elements inside a grid. Impedance coordination is a very complex and time-consuming task with no adaptations to dynamic changes in a power grid. In this paper, the concepts of dynamic interaction and passivity are explained and combined together to provide an online stability measure in terms of the DC bus impedance characteristics. A novel DC Power System Stabilizer (PSS) is proposed which is connected to a DC bus as a separate module passivizing the bus impedance at non-passive interaction frequencies. The interaction frequencies are detected through a broadband online identification process. The PSS working principle, topology, modeling, and control designs are explained in detail. Finally, the functionality and performance of the proposed stabilizer are validated by simulation results.
