Status review on stability analysis of solar and wind electrical energy resource based microgrids integration into a multi-machine power system

Abstract

The global push to generate significant amounts of electrical energy from renewable sources is primarily driven by concerns over global warming. Solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy are among the most promising renewable sources for large-scale power production, largely due to advancements in converter technologies. If the current rate of installation continues, wind and solar PV power could significantly alter the electrical grid and potentially affect its stability. This paper offers a comprehensive analysis of the technological challenges, focusing on stability issues related to the large-scale integration of wind and solar PV into the power system. It also explores stability studies for solar PV, as well as the role of HVDC, DFIG, FACTS devices, and dynamic models of generators. In conclusion, the paper summarizes research findings on technical solutions to address power system stability challenges. The study supports power system engineers and policymakers in enhancing grid stability amid high solar PV and wind integration. It guides the use of technologies like HVDC, DFIGs, and FACTS for building resilient, renewable-driven power systems.
