Infinity-Norm of Impedance-Based Stability Criterion for Three-Phase AC Distributed Power Systems With Constant Power Loads

This paper presents a stability criterion for three-phase AC distributed power system (DPS). While the source output impedance and the load input admittance under synchronous reference frame are generally investigated to predict the stability of the three-phase AC DPS, the infinity-norms of the impedance and admittance are innovatively adopted in the proposed criterion to improve the computational complexity and the conservatism. Meanwhile, the computational complexity and the conservatism of the proposed criterion are analyzed and compared with existing ones. Furthermore, the terminal characteristics of the studied three-phase AC DPS composed of an LC filter and a three-phase boost rectifier, which cover the source output impedance and the load input admittance, are comprehensively modeled. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed criterion is validated by experimental results.
