Evaluation of the Interactions of Multiple Inverter-Based Resources Using 2DOF Elastic Energy Equivalent System

Inverter-based resources are widely integrated into power systems, which may interact with each other and induce the risk of oscillation. This paper introduces a two-degree-of-freedom elastic energy equivalent system (2DOF-EEES) to assess interactions in power systems integrated with multiple inverter-based resources. Unlike traditional impedance-based analysis, the 2DOF-EEES intuitively represents the interactions between multiple inverters and the power network by constructing an equivalent elastic structure with two degrees of freedom. Initially, by equating parallel RLC circuits to a two-degree-of-freedom spring–damper system, the 2DOF-EEES is established. Subsequently, the 2DOF-EEES for the power system, integrated with multiple inverter-based resources, is developed by deriving analytical expressions for common and differential-mode energy. The effectiveness of this method in accurately assessing the oscillatory stability of the system is validated through time-domain simulation. The results further reveal that the differential-mode energy influences the common-mode energy via the equivalent elastic structure in the 2DOF-EEES, thereby affecting the interaction between the wind farm and the network.
