Impact of inverter based generation on the transient stability performance of large synchronous power plants

This Master Thesis has one main aim: analyse the effect of the inverter based generation on the transient stability performance of large syncrhonous power plants. DC current is starting to become more and more important in the actual electrical grid. With the aim of injecting this DC power into the electrical AC grid, an interface is needed, this interface consists in an inverter. This inverter is a controlled system, hence active and reactive power injection can be constantly and precisely regulated. On the other hand, Synchronous machines are the main actors in the generation process. Consequently, it is noticeably important to analyse the way these DC systems and their interfaces may interact with the synchronous generators and, mainly, in the case of a large disturbance. This study is considered for both HVDC links and Power Park modules.
