SysStab 2030

The aim of the project is to accelerate the introduction of the necessary ancillary services by generation plants and consumers in order to maintain system stability. The consortium will work together to identify and confirm the needs and challenges of the power grid in 2030 and the necessary ancillary services derived from this.

Methods for determining system requirements are to be (further) developed and implemented with the involvement of all key stakeholders. At the same time, the technical potentials and obstacles to the provision of necessary ancillary services by future generation and consumption systems will be analyzed and solution options developed to cover the identified requirements in the medium and long term. The solutions will be evaluated from a technical perspective and in terms of their pragmatic feasibility.

The sub-project of the University of Kassel contributes to this in particular through the evaluation and further development of methods and models for the evaluation of subsynchronous stability and harmonic stability as well as the quantification of requirements and remedial measures. One focus of this work is on the evaluation of subsynchronous stability and harmonic stability in hybrid AC-DC grids. In addition, the potential and challenges of instantaneous reserve provision by generators and loads that are subject to asymmetrical and otherwise non-continuous restrictions of current and power depending on the operating point are considered. In this context, the interaction between the type of grid-forming control, the associated current and power limitation and transient stability is also examined.

The project is closely interlinked with the System Stability Roadmap.
