Hybrid Angle Control and Almost Global Stability of Non-synchronous Hybrid AC/DC Power Grids

Abstract

This paper explores the stability of nonsynchronous hybrid ac/dc power grids under the grid-forming hybrid angle control strategy. We formulate dynamical models for the ac grids and transmission lines, interlinking converters, and dc generations and interconnections. Next, we establish the existence and uniqueness of the closed-loop equilibria for the overall system. Subsequently, we demonstrate global attractivity of the equilibria, local asymptotic stability of the desired equilibrium point, and instability and zero-Lebesgue-measure region of attraction for other equilibria. The theoretic results are derived under mild, parametric, and unified stability/instability conditions. Finally, relying on the intermediate results, we conclude the almost global asymptotic stability of the hybrid ac/dc power grids with interlinking converters that are equipped with hybrid angle control. Last, we present several remarks on the practical and theoretical aspects of the problem under investigation.
