Abstract

Several case studies are presented in this paper to better understand the impact of planned network changes on the dynamic stability of the future Great Britain transmission system. These studies have been conducted on a small network that is reasonably representative of the small signal stability problems present in the UK power system. The effect of wind penetration and HVDC links on the existing low frequency inter-area oscillations is analysed and interpreted for different possible future scenarios by observing the change of damping and frequency of this mode in response to these changes.
