Current Limiting Schemes and their Stability Implications for Blackstart of Power Systems with Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs)

Jose Ramon Martinez, Olga Lavrova, Satish Ranade

Abstract


This paper analyzes two different current limit schemes within IBRs, focusing on theireffectiveness and addressing performance deficiencies where identified. The context of this analysis is an islanded blackstart scenario, utilizing the IEEE-13 node test feeder augmented with an induction motor. MATLAB SimulinkTM serves as the primary simulation platform. This study aims to contribute to the robust and efficient operation of modern power grids by refining the simulation accuracy of IBR behaviors through means of additional implementation of voltage setpoint and current limit control schemes.
