Probing-Based Inertia Estimation Method Using Hybrid Power Plants
With the displacement of synchronous generation by inverter-based resources (IBRs), power systems could face the challenge of reduced inertia since IBRs do not inherently contribute to system inertia. Therefore, there is rising interest in monitoring system inertia in real-time applications for situational awareness. In addition, there is a growing number of IBRs that provide fast frequency responses (FFR) in the form of synthetic inertia and P-f droop. It is desirable to quantify the contribution of these FFR controls as equivalent inertia. This paper proposes a probing-based inertia estimation method using a PV-battery hybrid power plant in the Kauai island power system. The method is validated under different operating conditions.
