Abstract

With the advancement in power electronics technology and grid standards, traditional converters are being supplemented with the new IEEE 1547-2018 standard based grid support functions (GSFs) to support power system voltage and frequency. Inverter dynamics in power systems vary with different modes of operation, thus new modeling methods for proper system planning, operation, and dispatch are required. This work presents a data-driven approach for partitioned dynamic modeling of inverters to speed up simulation time and reduce computational complexity while ensuring acceptable accuracy. The proposed method was tested for a smart inverter with voltage support (Volt-VAr function) on a two-bus system considering dynamic residential loads, and the results showed a four-time speedup in simulation time compared to the use of the detailed model with acceptable levels of accuracy.
