Title Dynamic Regulation of Flexible Inertia in Modern Power Grids
Summary In traditional power systems, inertia is provided by the rotating masses of synchronous generators, rendering it fixed under normal conditions. However, as inverter-based resources become more prevalent, the nature of grid inertia is evolving. Grid-forming (GFM) inverters, while lacking physical inertia, can emulate it through advanced control strategies, enabling adjustable and dynamic inertia. This flexibility offers new opportunities to enhance frequency stability, yet it also introduces challenges in dynamically regulating inertia based on real-time grid conditions. This project explores adaptive control strategies for inertia tuning in modern power systems. Through simulation-based analyses, various dynamic inertia adjustment methods will be evaluated for their impacts on system stability, frequency response, and overall grid resilience. By comparing the strengths and limitations of these strategies, the project aims to provide valuable insights into effectively leveraging flexible inertia to enhance the stability of future power networks.
