Robustness against Disturbances in Power Systems under Frequency Constraints

The wide deployment of renewable generation and the gradual decrease in the overall system inertia make modern power grids more vulnerable to transient instabilities and unacceptable frequency fluctuations. Time-domain simulation-based assessment of the system robustness against uncertain and stochastic disturbances is extremely time-consuming. In this paper, we develop an alternative approach, which has its roots in the input-output stability analysis for Lur'e systems. Our approach consists of a mathematically rigorous characterization of the external disturbances that the power system is transiently stable and the frequency constraints are not violated. The derived certificate is efficiently constructed via convex optimization and is shown to be non-conservative for different IEEE test cases.
