Project - Addressing System Strength Shortfall in Renewable Energy-integrated Weak Grid Systems

Owing to the higher integration of renewable energy generators (REGs) in distribution grids, conventional coal-based synchronous generators (SGs) are being decommissioned from generation fleets, resulting in system strength and reliability concerns. Along with the increasing load demand, a deficiency of system strength can pose a significant risk to system stability and potentially lead to blackouts by disconnecting REGs from grid systems. In the literature, researchers and power engineers have proposed deploying synchronous condensers (SynCons) as a mitigation strategy to address system strength and reliability challenges. SynCons are expensive and require investigation for higher reliability results before installation. To address these concerns, this research investigates the optimal sizes, placement, and reliability assessment of SynCons.
