Abstract

Given the intermittence and low inertia nature of inverter-based resources (IBRs), modern power systems with high penetration of IBRs challenge the conventional optimal power flow (OPF) analysis and the system may experience unexpected failures if stability constraints are not incorporated. This study proposes a small-signal stability-constrained OPF (SSSC-OPF) with flexible operation mode selection between grid-forming (GFM) and grid-following (GFL) modes for IBRs to address these challenges. The approach aims to maintain system stability with a sufficient stability margin while minimizing operation costs. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through extensive case studies on the IEEE 14-bus system. The results demonstrate that the proposed method is able to support system-level power flow analysis, reduce generation costs, and ensure stability under various disturbances.
