Power electronic components that are penetrated in systems cause stability issues due to non-linear
behavioral characteristics. Non-linear series data alone cannot provide sufficient information
regarding dynamic behaviors and so a real time complexity measurement is required. Studies
have been carried out to assess stability in power electronic based components such as- Solid State
Transformers (SSTs), inverters etc. Quantification of these assessment will lead to an authentic
stability analysis of the interconnected Microgrids as power electronic converters are used in
Microgrids to control the flow of power. Renewable energy penetration can be increased for
Microgrids with the help of real time nonlinear stability analysis.
Modern electricity systems are driven towards decentralization. Microgrids emerging to serve the
purpose for that along with reduction in
emission. To assure electricity supply in the future
as well as for rural off-grid electrification in underdeveloped countries, study of dynamic behaviors
for the grids is a significant field on study. Due to non-linear behaviors because of high penetration
of power electronic-based components, real time complexity measurement to assess stability is
efficacious. A real time complexity measurement metric to assess instability issues in
interconnected complex grids which would be independent of the signal frequencies will lead to
low cost analysis.
The research will be focused on the study of available non-linear assessment techniques to evaluate
system dynamics in real-time and further modification in techniques for improvement and
feasibility.
