Abstract

This chapter delineates the fundamental and advanced concepts associated with frequency stability and control of hybrid AC/DC power grids. As power grids are transforming to hybrid AC/DC power grids with HVDC transmission systems and high penetration of power electronic converter (PEC) interfaced renewable power generation sources, the electrical dynamics are decoupled at a rapid rate resulting in less natural response contribution from the generation sources during frequency disturbances. Therefore, it is imperative to pay a strong attention on improving the frequency stability and control in hybrid AC/DC power grids. This chapter exemplifies the frequency stability issues and frequency control strategies of hybrid AC/DC power grids with case study examples.
