Models of a low voltage distribution network using a typical tertiary-structure solid state transformer (SST) for the integrationof distributed generations (DGs) and a conventional low voltage distribution network integrated with DGs were established tostudy the transient voltage stability issue using the power system simulation software PSCAD Effects on the transient voltagestability of the load bus and DC bus in the SST system are analyzed when grid-side cable line faults (such as short circuit and linedisconnection) occur or the total output of DGs drops greatly The results show that comparing with the conventional systemthe SST has apparent advantages on enhancing the transient voltage stability of load bus while facing different disturbances eventhough SST has to regulate the voltage passively Short circuit faults at different location of the grid-side line have different effectson the transient voltage stability while the effect of disconnection fault is not related to fault location Moreover the DC bus voltageis easy to keep climbing continually when short circuit fault of the line occurs that is close to the SST input stage or disconnectionfault occurs at any location of the line If a battery energy storage station is installed the transient voltage stability of DC bus andload bus will be improved effectively because of the regulation function of battery storage
1 Introduction
With the technologies related to new energy generation beingmaturing day by day and the construction of the energyinternet being pushed forward constantly [1ndash3] penetrationsof distributed generations (DGs) in the distribution networkare increasing gradually [4 5] Before the electric powergrid and other energy networks connecting with each otherand forming an energy internet building a green smartgrid with the core of energy routers to accept large-scalerenewable energy sources widely is one way to constructthe energy internet [6] The intelligent dispatching andcontrolling center of the energy internet is the energy router[7] whose core is a high-frequency coupled device calledsolid state transformer (SST) based on the advanced powerelectronic technology [8]
The output of DG is random and the configuration of thedistribution network integrated with DGs is complex whichcan influence the stability of the distribution network [9 10]
Reference [11] pointed out that the voltage stability issue doesexist in distribution networks integrated with photovoltaiccell power and the voltage instability phenomenon can besolved effectively by photovoltaic inverter reactive powersupport [2 11] A typical simulation model that a distributedphotovoltaic power station is directly integrated into a lowvoltage distribution network was established in [12] andthe effects were analyzed on the transient voltage stabilityof load bus when the faults such as short circuit and linedisconnection occur or the output of distributed photovoltaicpower plant drops greatly In [13] the impacts of large-scalephotovoltaic generation on the steady state voltage stability ofdistribution system were studied and the conclusion that thephotovoltaic modules have to operate in the reactive powersupport mode to improve the system voltage stability wasobtained In [14] a DC microgrid containing photovoltaiccell wind turbine and fuel cell was proposed and connectedto the low voltage distribution network under variable loaddemands and the simulation results showed that the voltage

stability of DC bus can be maintained at different operatingmodes In [15] a method that can enhance the transientvoltage stability of a real distribution network with windpower was proposed bymeans of optimal rating and locationof the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM)
When using a SST for the integration of DGs and thedistribution network on the part of the grid the ability ofadopting the DGs will be enhanced and the situation of volt-age oscillation and instability will be avoided In this papera simulation model of a 038 kV low voltage distributionnetwork which uses a typical SST for the integration of DGswas established using the power system simulation softwarePSCADEMTDC and effects on the transient voltage stabilityof the system while facing various disturbances are studiedThe advantages of the transient voltage stability using a SSTfor the integration of DGs are analyzed and the differencesbetween whether there is a battery energy storage station arediscussed
2 Modeling and Control Strategy of SST
As shown in Figure 1 a typical tertiary-structure SST ischosen for discussion which consisted by a ACDC unit aDCDC unit and a DCAC unit The three units are inputstage isolation stage and output stage respectively To realizethe bidirectional power flow the full-controlled device IGBTis used for building the SST [16]
In this paper a voltage-source PMW rectifier is chosen asthe input stage of SST which can rectify the 038 kVAC of thelow voltage distribution network to 078 kV DC
The dual-loop decoupled control strategy is chosen forthe input stage [17] The voltage orientation control strategybased on 119889-119902 rotating coordinate system is selected for thevoltage loop and the direct current control is adopted forthe current loopThe grid-side power factor can be correctedaccording to the control goal The control equations of theSST input stage are
119894lowast1119889 = (119870P1 + 119870I1119904 ) (1198801015840dc minus 119880dc)119894lowast1119902 = 0119906lowast1119889 = 1199061119889 + 1205961198711198941119902 minus (119870P2 + 119870I2119904 ) (119894lowast1119889 minus 1198941119889)119906lowast1119902 = 1199061119902 minus 1205961198711198941119889 minus (119870P2 + 119870I2119904 ) (119894lowast1119902 minus 1198941119902)

In isolation stage the 078 kV DC is converted to a high-frequency AC square wave and coupled to the secondaryside of a high-frequency isolated transformer which is usedto isolate the original side and subside Then the high-frequency AC will be rectified to 078 kV DC
In the output stage the 078 kV DC is inverted to 038 kVAC for power supplies The dual-loop decupled controlstrategy with the voltage and current feedforward is adoptedfor the control [18] The control equations of the SST outputstage are

3 Model of Low Voltage Distribution NetworkIntegrated with DGs
A conventional system model of a low voltage distributionnetwork integrated with DGs (including distributed photo-voltaic andwind power) is established using the power systemsimulation software PSCAD as shown in Figure 2 1 and 2are the voltage of Bus 1 andBus 2 respectivelyThe impedanceof the cable is 119877 + 119895119883 and the value is 0096 + 1198950015Ω Thepower from the low voltage distribution network is noted as1198751+1198951198761 the power flow from the network to Bus 2 is noted as1198752 + 1198951198762 The outputs of photovoltaic power plant and windpower farm are 119875pv + 119895119876pv and 119875wind + 119895119876wind respectivelythe absorbed power of the three-phase induction motor andthe static load are 119875119872 + 119895119876119872 and 119875119904 + 119895119876119904 respectively
Some ancillary facilities such as reactive power com-pensation devices and inverters of photovoltaic or windpower systems can be left out because of the structure andflexible control characteristics of SST and the DGs can bedirectly connected to the DC busThe model of a low voltagedistribution network using a SST for the integration of DGsis shown in Figure 3

Figure 3 Model of low voltage distribution network integrated with DGs using SST
In Figures 2 and 3 the rated capacities of the photovoltaicpower station and the wind power plant both are 260 kWThe loads are composed of two parts of static load (includinga constant resistance load and a constant impedance load)and a three-phase induction motor The rated power of theconstant resistance 1198771199041 is 90 kW the rated power of theconstant impedance 1198771199042 + 1198951198831199042 is 60 kVA the rated capacityof the three-phase induction motor is 495 kVA
During the simulation analyses the environmental tem-perature is 29815 K the light intensity is 1000Wm2 thewindspeed is 11ms and these values will vary in a certain rageWhen the system operates normally the absorbed active andreactive power of the induction motor are about 46 kW and23 kvar respectively the absorbed active and reactive powerof the constant impedance load are about 48 kW and 35 kvarrespectively The grid-side unity power factor is realized dueto the control strategy of the SST input stage
4 Effects on Transient Voltage Stability ofGrid-Side Line Faults
The research results show that short circuit fault of grid-side cable line at different location has different effect onthe system transient voltage stability because of the controlfunction of the SST input stage while line disconnection faultis not associated with the fault location
The schematic diagram of fault position is shown inFigure 4 The grid-side cable line is divided into Line 1 andLine 2 equivalently by the signal collection device whichmonitors the distribution network Line 1 contains only asmall part of lines connecting the signal collection deviceand the SST input stage in practice and its fault possibility ismuch lower Line 2 contains the whole external distributionnetwork lines which are so complex that their fault possibilityis very high

To save space and take the aesthetics into considerationmost urban low voltage distribution networks use cable linesInsulation aging or damage is the main cause of cable faults
41 Short Circuit Fault Occurs at Line 1 Line 1 may haveshort circuit faults though there are fewer lines in it Once thefault occurs each stage of the SST has to regulate the voltagepassively Therefore we focus on the influence on the systemtransient voltage stability when different short circuit faultsoccur at Line 1
Take the typical single-phase grounding short circuit faultas an example Now set the simulation time as 2 s After time119905 = 04 s the system enters stable operation When 119905 =06 s single-phase grounding short circuit fault occurs at themidpoint of Line 1 and the fault duration is 01 s The relayprotection acts and removes the fault line when 119905 = 065 sWe focus on the system transient voltage stability when thecut line is no longer reinput because 038 kV low voltage cableline has generally no reclosing device
After the line is cut off the grid loses power and theDGs enter the state of isolation island operation We do thisresearch on the condition that the outputs of DGs are richand can meet the need of local loads When the single-phasegrounding short circuit fault occurs the response curves ofload bus voltage and absorbed powers of induction motorin the conventional DGs grid-connected system (shown inFigure 2) the response curves of load bus (Bus 2) voltageabsorbed powers of induction motor and DC bus voltage areshown in Figure 5
In general if a 038 kV AC bus voltage in low voltagedistribution network is lower than 09 pu or higher than 11 puafter a large disturbance formore than the specified limit time(eg 1 s or above) it can be considered that the low voltageAC bus is transient voltage instability [12] In this paper thetransient voltage stability of low voltage DC bus obeys thesame rules too
As can be seen from Figures 5(a) and 5(b) for theconventional system after the single-phase grounding shortcircuit fault occurs and the relay protection acts the load busvoltage drops rapidly to 08 pu or less and the load bus isconsidered to be unstable thus causing the active and reactivepower absorbed by induction motor to have oscillations andfinally to be below rated values (rated active power is 1 puand rated reactive power is 05 pu) The limitation of theconventional system is that the inverter control function of
DGs is simple and the transient voltage stability of load buscannot be guaranteed while facing disturbances
In this paper the DGsrsquo inverters adopt outlet voltagecontrol strategy simulation results show that the transientvoltage stability of load bus cannot be maintained by theinverters without the support of power grid
If the inverters adopt constant power control strategythe outputs of DGs will remain constant under the normalenvironment after the disturbances After the relay protectionacts the load bus has the equation according to the powerbalance
119875pv + 119875wind = 119875119872 + 119875119878 = 119875119872 + ( 11198771199041 +119877s211987721199042 + 11988321199042)119880
22 (3)
It can be seen from Formula (3) in the case of rich outputsof DGs the load demand can be met so the load bus voltagerecovers quickly Accordingly the absorbed active power ofinduction motor begins to fall down after the oscillationFrom Formula (3) we can find that 1198802 will be lifted once119875119872 starts to decrease eventually causing the load bus voltageto climb continually And at this time the load bus is stillconsidered to be transient voltage instability It is necessaryto abandon the photovoltaic and wind power to protect themotor in time
The effectiveness of the control strategy of SST on thetransient voltage stability can be seen from Figures 5(a) and5(b) which reflects the SSTrsquos better ability of maintainingtransient voltage stability while facing disturbances Thoughthe fault is close to the SST input stage active control cannotbe taken by the SST to stabilize the grid-side surge currentand the current has to be regulated passively and the loadbus voltage can recover to the original rated value andmaintain the stability after experiencing rapid sagThereforethe absorbed powers of induction motor can recover to theoriginal rated values too
As shown in Figure 5(c) although the SST can maintainthe voltage stability of load bus by passive regulation if thereis no a battery energy storage station installed in the DC busthe DC bus voltage will keep climbing because the outputs ofDGs cannot be transmitted to the grid At this time we canconsider that the DC bus loses its transient voltage stability Itis harmful to the security and stability of the system and thephotovoltaic and wind power will have to be abandoned
The battery energy storage station plays an important rolein stabilizing the load bus voltage and DC bus voltage Asshown in Figure 5 in the DGs grid-connected system basedon SST the battery energy storage station can stabilize theload bus voltage and DC bus voltage greatly after the shotcircuit fault occurs and there is merely a slight oscillationAfter the relay protection acts theDCbus voltage is regulatedto the original rated value because of the function of energystorage station avoiding the voltage climbing phenome-non
Simulation results show there are similar conclusionswhen other short circuit faults occur at Line 1 for instancethe response curves of three-phase short circuit occurring atmidpoint of Line 1 are shown in Figure 6

42 Short Circuit Fault Occurs at Line 2 If short circuit faultoccurs at Line 2 the information can be picked up and thesurge current can be steadied by the active control of the SSTinput stage and it merely has little effect on the load busvoltage and DC bus voltage even if the most serious three-phase short circuit fault occurs as shown in Figure 7
43 Disconnection Fault Occurs at Any Location of Gird-Side Line When the line disconnection fault occurs at anylocation of the gird-side line (including Line 1 and Line 2)we can draw similar conclusions with the condition thatshort circuit faults occurs at Line 1 Taking the disconnectionoccurring at themidpoint of Line 1 for example the responsecurves are shown in Figure 8
5 Impact of Great Drop of DGsrsquo Total Outputon Transient Voltage Stability
The output of DG is affected by the weather greatly Thesudden changes in light intensity and wind speed will causesudden changes in the outputs of photovoltaic power plantand wind farm respectively which will affect the transientvoltage stability of the system
Considering the most adverse weather condition whenthe light intensity drops greatly and the wind turbine dropsout because wind speed is too large the sudden great dropof DGsrsquo total output can cause the load bus voltage to beinstability For the conventional system shown in Figure 2supposing that the total load power is 119875119871 + 119895119876119871 and the total

output of DGs is 119875Σ + 119895119876Σ the load bus voltage drops to 11988010158402when the DGsrsquo total output drops to 0 suddenly there will be[12]
1198802 minus 11988010158402 = 119875Σ119877 + 119876Σ1198831198802 + (119875119871119877 + 119876119871119883)( 111988010158402 minus11198802) (4)
Since both photovoltaic and wind power have maximumpower control119876Σ is almost 0 Suppose the voltage drop ratio
is 119886 that is11988010158402 = 1198861198802 Put119876Σ = 0 and11988010158402 = 1198861198802 into Formula(4) we can get the following
119875Σ = (1 minus 119886)11988022 minus (1119886 minus 1) (119875119871119877 + 119876119871119883)119877 (5)
In Formula (5) if 1198802 is the rated value (1 pu) then 119886 takes09 And we can get the upper limit approximate value of totaloutput active power of DGs that is just right for maintainingthe system transient voltage stability when the total output

drops to 0When theDGsrsquo total output is equal or greater thanthe upper limited approximate value in the actual operationof the system and drops to 0 suddenly the load bus will loseits transient voltage stability in general
Using the parameters in the conventional system tocalculate according to Formula (5) it will figure out that theupper limit approximate value of DGsrsquo total output is 150 kWas 119886 takes 09 (because1198802 is very close to 1 pu) Now the totaloutput of DGs in the conventional system and the SST systemis set to be 150 kW respectively The simulation time is set tobe 2 s and the photovoltaic and wind power suddenly dropto 0 at 119905 = 06 s The response curves are shown in Figure 9
It can be known from Figures 9(a) and 9(b) that theload bus voltage in the conventional system is unstable afterthe great drop of DGsrsquo total output occurs and the voltagedrops to about 088 pu which is almost matching with thetheoretical value (09 pu) while in the SST system the loadbus and DC bus recover transient voltage stability quicklyWhen it comes to the SST system with a battery energystorage station the voltages of load bus and DC bus arealmost not affected by the disturbance As can be seen fromFigure 9(c) for the SST system without a battery energystorage station before the great drop of DGsrsquo total outputoccurs the reactive power transmitted from the grid is 0because of the control of the SST input stage while the activepower is minus02MW because of the plenty outputs of DGsAfter the total output of DGs drops to 0 the low voltagedistribution network supplies a certain amount of powers tohelp to maintain the bus voltage at this moment
6 Conclusions
The development of the technology of DGs has realized theeffective integration and efficient utilization of renewable
energies distributed around the world It has practical sig-nificance to study on the transient voltage stability of theDGs grid-connected system and it is meaningful for realizingthe change from a traditional fossil-fuel grid to a futuregreen smart grid In this paper we use PSCAD softwareto study the transient voltage stability of the low voltagedistributed network integrated with DGs based on SST underthe condition of cable line fault and sudden drop of DGsrsquo totaloutput and concluded as follows
(1) Using a SST for the integration of DGs and thedistribution network has advantages on the systemtransient voltage stability while facing different faultsThe influence of grid-side line short circuit faulton the transient voltage stability is related to faultlocation and the line disconnection fault is not thecase Even if SST has to regulate the voltage passivelywhen the fault occurs at the line close to the SST inputstage the regulation function of SST still canmaintainthe voltage transient stability of load bus This avoidsload bus in the conventional DGs gird-connectedsystem losing its transient voltage stability effectivelywhile facing such faults and improves utilization ofDGs and reliability of power supply
(2) Although the SST control makes the load bus havebetter transient voltage stability the DC bus voltageis easy to keep climbing continually when the shortcircuit occurs at the line side that is close to the SSTinput stage or the line disconnection occurs at anylocation of the line At this moment the DC bus canbe considered to be transient voltage instability andthis is a new transient voltage stability phenomenonin the DGs gird-connected system using SST It isharmful to the security and stability of the system

stability of DC bus can be maintained at different operatingmodes In [15] a method that can enhance the transientvoltage stability of a real distribution network with windpower was proposed bymeans of optimal rating and locationof the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM)
When using a SST for the integration of DGs and thedistribution network on the part of the grid the ability ofadopting the DGs will be enhanced and the situation of volt-age oscillation and instability will be avoided In this papera simulation model of a 038 kV low voltage distributionnetwork which uses a typical SST for the integration of DGswas established using the power system simulation softwarePSCADEMTDC and effects on the transient voltage stabilityof the system while facing various disturbances are studiedThe advantages of the transient voltage stability using a SSTfor the integration of DGs are analyzed and the differencesbetween whether there is a battery energy storage station arediscussed
2 Modeling and Control Strategy of SST
As shown in Figure 1 a typical tertiary-structure SST ischosen for discussion which consisted by a ACDC unit aDCDC unit and a DCAC unit The three units are inputstage isolation stage and output stage respectively To realizethe bidirectional power flow the full-controlled device IGBTis used for building the SST [16]
In this paper a voltage-source PMW rectifier is chosen asthe input stage of SST which can rectify the 038 kVAC of thelow voltage distribution network to 078 kV DC
The dual-loop decoupled control strategy is chosen forthe input stage [17] The voltage orientation control strategybased on 119889-119902 rotating coordinate system is selected for thevoltage loop and the direct current control is adopted forthe current loopThe grid-side power factor can be correctedaccording to the control goal The control equations of theSST input stage are
119894lowast1119889 = (119870P1 + 119870I1119904 ) (1198801015840dc minus 119880dc)119894lowast1119902 = 0119906lowast1119889 = 1199061119889 + 1205961198711198941119902 minus (119870P2 + 119870I2119904 ) (119894lowast1119889 minus 1198941119889)119906lowast1119902 = 1199061119902 minus 1205961198711198941119889 minus (119870P2 + 119870I2119904 ) (119894lowast1119902 minus 1198941119902)

In isolation stage the 078 kV DC is converted to a high-frequency AC square wave and coupled to the secondaryside of a high-frequency isolated transformer which is usedto isolate the original side and subside Then the high-frequency AC will be rectified to 078 kV DC
In the output stage the 078 kV DC is inverted to 038 kVAC for power supplies The dual-loop decupled controlstrategy with the voltage and current feedforward is adoptedfor the control [18] The control equations of the SST outputstage are

3 Model of Low Voltage Distribution NetworkIntegrated with DGs
A conventional system model of a low voltage distributionnetwork integrated with DGs (including distributed photo-voltaic andwind power) is established using the power systemsimulation software PSCAD as shown in Figure 2 1 and 2are the voltage of Bus 1 andBus 2 respectivelyThe impedanceof the cable is 119877 + 119895119883 and the value is 0096 + 1198950015Ω Thepower from the low voltage distribution network is noted as1198751+1198951198761 the power flow from the network to Bus 2 is noted as1198752 + 1198951198762 The outputs of photovoltaic power plant and windpower farm are 119875pv + 119895119876pv and 119875wind + 119895119876wind respectivelythe absorbed power of the three-phase induction motor andthe static load are 119875119872 + 119895119876119872 and 119875119904 + 119895119876119904 respectively
Some ancillary facilities such as reactive power com-pensation devices and inverters of photovoltaic or windpower systems can be left out because of the structure andflexible control characteristics of SST and the DGs can bedirectly connected to the DC busThe model of a low voltagedistribution network using a SST for the integration of DGsis shown in Figure 3

Figure 3 Model of low voltage distribution network integrated with DGs using SST
In Figures 2 and 3 the rated capacities of the photovoltaicpower station and the wind power plant both are 260 kWThe loads are composed of two parts of static load (includinga constant resistance load and a constant impedance load)and a three-phase induction motor The rated power of theconstant resistance 1198771199041 is 90 kW the rated power of theconstant impedance 1198771199042 + 1198951198831199042 is 60 kVA the rated capacityof the three-phase induction motor is 495 kVA
During the simulation analyses the environmental tem-perature is 29815 K the light intensity is 1000Wm2 thewindspeed is 11ms and these values will vary in a certain rageWhen the system operates normally the absorbed active andreactive power of the induction motor are about 46 kW and23 kvar respectively the absorbed active and reactive powerof the constant impedance load are about 48 kW and 35 kvarrespectively The grid-side unity power factor is realized dueto the control strategy of the SST input stage
4 Effects on Transient Voltage Stability ofGrid-Side Line Faults
The research results show that short circuit fault of grid-side cable line at different location has different effect onthe system transient voltage stability because of the controlfunction of the SST input stage while line disconnection faultis not associated with the fault location
The schematic diagram of fault position is shown inFigure 4 The grid-side cable line is divided into Line 1 andLine 2 equivalently by the signal collection device whichmonitors the distribution network Line 1 contains only asmall part of lines connecting the signal collection deviceand the SST input stage in practice and its fault possibility ismuch lower Line 2 contains the whole external distributionnetwork lines which are so complex that their fault possibilityis very high

41 Short Circuit Fault Occurs at Line 1 Line 1 may haveshort circuit faults though there are fewer lines in it Once thefault occurs each stage of the SST has to regulate the voltagepassively Therefore we focus on the influence on the systemtransient voltage stability when different short circuit faultsoccur at Line 1
Take the typical single-phase grounding short circuit faultas an example Now set the simulation time as 2 s After time119905 = 04 s the system enters stable operation When 119905 =06 s single-phase grounding short circuit fault occurs at themidpoint of Line 1 and the fault duration is 01 s The relayprotection acts and removes the fault line when 119905 = 065 sWe focus on the system transient voltage stability when thecut line is no longer reinput because 038 kV low voltage cableline has generally no reclosing device
After the line is cut off the grid loses power and theDGs enter the state of isolation island operation We do thisresearch on the condition that the outputs of DGs are richand can meet the need of local loads When the single-phasegrounding short circuit fault occurs the response curves ofload bus voltage and absorbed powers of induction motorin the conventional DGs grid-connected system (shown inFigure 2) the response curves of load bus (Bus 2) voltageabsorbed powers of induction motor and DC bus voltage areshown in Figure 5
In general if a 038 kV AC bus voltage in low voltagedistribution network is lower than 09 pu or higher than 11 puafter a large disturbance formore than the specified limit time(eg 1 s or above) it can be considered that the low voltageAC bus is transient voltage instability [12] In this paper thetransient voltage stability of low voltage DC bus obeys thesame rules too
As can be seen from Figures 5(a) and 5(b) for theconventional system after the single-phase grounding shortcircuit fault occurs and the relay protection acts the load busvoltage drops rapidly to 08 pu or less and the load bus isconsidered to be unstable thus causing the active and reactivepower absorbed by induction motor to have oscillations andfinally to be below rated values (rated active power is 1 puand rated reactive power is 05 pu) The limitation of theconventional system is that the inverter control function of
DGs is simple and the transient voltage stability of load buscannot be guaranteed while facing disturbances
In this paper the DGsrsquo inverters adopt outlet voltagecontrol strategy simulation results show that the transientvoltage stability of load bus cannot be maintained by theinverters without the support of power grid
If the inverters adopt constant power control strategythe outputs of DGs will remain constant under the normalenvironment after the disturbances After the relay protectionacts the load bus has the equation according to the powerbalance
119875pv + 119875wind = 119875119872 + 119875119878 = 119875119872 + ( 11198771199041 +119877s211987721199042 + 11988321199042)119880
22 (3)
It can be seen from Formula (3) in the case of rich outputsof DGs the load demand can be met so the load bus voltagerecovers quickly Accordingly the absorbed active power ofinduction motor begins to fall down after the oscillationFrom Formula (3) we can find that 1198802 will be lifted once119875119872 starts to decrease eventually causing the load bus voltageto climb continually And at this time the load bus is stillconsidered to be transient voltage instability It is necessaryto abandon the photovoltaic and wind power to protect themotor in time
The effectiveness of the control strategy of SST on thetransient voltage stability can be seen from Figures 5(a) and5(b) which reflects the SSTrsquos better ability of maintainingtransient voltage stability while facing disturbances Thoughthe fault is close to the SST input stage active control cannotbe taken by the SST to stabilize the grid-side surge currentand the current has to be regulated passively and the loadbus voltage can recover to the original rated value andmaintain the stability after experiencing rapid sagThereforethe absorbed powers of induction motor can recover to theoriginal rated values too
As shown in Figure 5(c) although the SST can maintainthe voltage stability of load bus by passive regulation if thereis no a battery energy storage station installed in the DC busthe DC bus voltage will keep climbing because the outputs ofDGs cannot be transmitted to the grid At this time we canconsider that the DC bus loses its transient voltage stability Itis harmful to the security and stability of the system and thephotovoltaic and wind power will have to be abandoned
The battery energy storage station plays an important rolein stabilizing the load bus voltage and DC bus voltage Asshown in Figure 5 in the DGs grid-connected system basedon SST the battery energy storage station can stabilize theload bus voltage and DC bus voltage greatly after the shotcircuit fault occurs and there is merely a slight oscillationAfter the relay protection acts theDCbus voltage is regulatedto the original rated value because of the function of energystorage station avoiding the voltage climbing phenome-non
Simulation results show there are similar conclusionswhen other short circuit faults occur at Line 1 for instancethe response curves of three-phase short circuit occurring atmidpoint of Line 1 are shown in Figure 6

42 Short Circuit Fault Occurs at Line 2 If short circuit faultoccurs at Line 2 the information can be picked up and thesurge current can be steadied by the active control of the SSTinput stage and it merely has little effect on the load busvoltage and DC bus voltage even if the most serious three-phase short circuit fault occurs as shown in Figure 7
43 Disconnection Fault Occurs at Any Location of Gird-Side Line When the line disconnection fault occurs at anylocation of the gird-side line (including Line 1 and Line 2)we can draw similar conclusions with the condition thatshort circuit faults occurs at Line 1 Taking the disconnectionoccurring at themidpoint of Line 1 for example the responsecurves are shown in Figure 8
5 Impact of Great Drop of DGsrsquo Total Outputon Transient Voltage Stability
The output of DG is affected by the weather greatly Thesudden changes in light intensity and wind speed will causesudden changes in the outputs of photovoltaic power plantand wind farm respectively which will affect the transientvoltage stability of the system
Considering the most adverse weather condition whenthe light intensity drops greatly and the wind turbine dropsout because wind speed is too large the sudden great dropof DGsrsquo total output can cause the load bus voltage to beinstability For the conventional system shown in Figure 2supposing that the total load power is 119875119871 + 119895119876119871 and the total

output of DGs is 119875Σ + 119895119876Σ the load bus voltage drops to 11988010158402when the DGsrsquo total output drops to 0 suddenly there will be[12]
1198802 minus 11988010158402 = 119875Σ119877 + 119876Σ1198831198802 + (119875119871119877 + 119876119871119883)( 111988010158402 minus11198802) (4)
Since both photovoltaic and wind power have maximumpower control119876Σ is almost 0 Suppose the voltage drop ratio
is 119886 that is11988010158402 = 1198861198802 Put119876Σ = 0 and11988010158402 = 1198861198802 into Formula(4) we can get the following
119875Σ = (1 minus 119886)11988022 minus (1119886 minus 1) (119875119871119877 + 119876119871119883)119877 (5)
In Formula (5) if 1198802 is the rated value (1 pu) then 119886 takes09 And we can get the upper limit approximate value of totaloutput active power of DGs that is just right for maintainingthe system transient voltage stability when the total output

Using the parameters in the conventional system tocalculate according to Formula (5) it will figure out that theupper limit approximate value of DGsrsquo total output is 150 kWas 119886 takes 09 (because1198802 is very close to 1 pu) Now the totaloutput of DGs in the conventional system and the SST systemis set to be 150 kW respectively The simulation time is set tobe 2 s and the photovoltaic and wind power suddenly dropto 0 at 119905 = 06 s The response curves are shown in Figure 9
It can be known from Figures 9(a) and 9(b) that theload bus voltage in the conventional system is unstable afterthe great drop of DGsrsquo total output occurs and the voltagedrops to about 088 pu which is almost matching with thetheoretical value (09 pu) while in the SST system the loadbus and DC bus recover transient voltage stability quicklyWhen it comes to the SST system with a battery energystorage station the voltages of load bus and DC bus arealmost not affected by the disturbance As can be seen fromFigure 9(c) for the SST system without a battery energystorage station before the great drop of DGsrsquo total outputoccurs the reactive power transmitted from the grid is 0because of the control of the SST input stage while the activepower is minus02MW because of the plenty outputs of DGsAfter the total output of DGs drops to 0 the low voltagedistribution network supplies a certain amount of powers tohelp to maintain the bus voltage at this moment
6 Conclusions
The development of the technology of DGs has realized theeffective integration and efficient utilization of renewable
energies distributed around the world It has practical sig-nificance to study on the transient voltage stability of theDGs grid-connected system and it is meaningful for realizingthe change from a traditional fossil-fuel grid to a futuregreen smart grid In this paper we use PSCAD softwareto study the transient voltage stability of the low voltagedistributed network integrated with DGs based on SST underthe condition of cable line fault and sudden drop of DGsrsquo totaloutput and concluded as follows
(1) Using a SST for the integration of DGs and thedistribution network has advantages on the systemtransient voltage stability while facing different faultsThe influence of grid-side line short circuit faulton the transient voltage stability is related to faultlocation and the line disconnection fault is not thecase Even if SST has to regulate the voltage passivelywhen the fault occurs at the line close to the SST inputstage the regulation function of SST still canmaintainthe voltage transient stability of load bus This avoidsload bus in the conventional DGs gird-connectedsystem losing its transient voltage stability effectivelywhile facing such faults and improves utilization ofDGs and reliability of power supply
(2) Although the SST control makes the load bus havebetter transient voltage stability the DC bus voltageis easy to keep climbing continually when the shortcircuit occurs at the line side that is close to the SSTinput stage or the line disconnection occurs at anylocation of the line At this moment the DC bus canbe considered to be transient voltage instability andthis is a new transient voltage stability phenomenonin the DGs gird-connected system using SST It isharmful to the security and stability of the system

Figure 3 Model of low voltage distribution network integrated with DGs using SST
In Figures 2 and 3 the rated capacities of the photovoltaicpower station and the wind power plant both are 260 kWThe loads are composed of two parts of static load (includinga constant resistance load and a constant impedance load)and a three-phase induction motor The rated power of theconstant resistance 1198771199041 is 90 kW the rated power of theconstant impedance 1198771199042 + 1198951198831199042 is 60 kVA the rated capacityof the three-phase induction motor is 495 kVA
During the simulation analyses the environmental tem-perature is 29815 K the light intensity is 1000Wm2 thewindspeed is 11ms and these values will vary in a certain rageWhen the system operates normally the absorbed active andreactive power of the induction motor are about 46 kW and23 kvar respectively the absorbed active and reactive powerof the constant impedance load are about 48 kW and 35 kvarrespectively The grid-side unity power factor is realized dueto the control strategy of the SST input stage
4 Effects on Transient Voltage Stability ofGrid-Side Line Faults
The research results show that short circuit fault of grid-side cable line at different location has different effect onthe system transient voltage stability because of the controlfunction of the SST input stage while line disconnection faultis not associated with the fault location
The schematic diagram of fault position is shown inFigure 4 The grid-side cable line is divided into Line 1 andLine 2 equivalently by the signal collection device whichmonitors the distribution network Line 1 contains only asmall part of lines connecting the signal collection deviceand the SST input stage in practice and its fault possibility ismuch lower Line 2 contains the whole external distributionnetwork lines which are so complex that their fault possibilityis very high

To save space and take the aesthetics into considerationmost urban low voltage distribution networks use cable linesInsulation aging or damage is the main cause of cable faults
41 Short Circuit Fault Occurs at Line 1 Line 1 may haveshort circuit faults though there are fewer lines in it Once thefault occurs each stage of the SST has to regulate the voltagepassively Therefore we focus on the influence on the systemtransient voltage stability when different short circuit faultsoccur at Line 1
Take the typical single-phase grounding short circuit faultas an example Now set the simulation time as 2 s After time119905 = 04 s the system enters stable operation When 119905 =06 s single-phase grounding short circuit fault occurs at themidpoint of Line 1 and the fault duration is 01 s The relayprotection acts and removes the fault line when 119905 = 065 sWe focus on the system transient voltage stability when thecut line is no longer reinput because 038 kV low voltage cableline has generally no reclosing device
After the line is cut off the grid loses power and theDGs enter the state of isolation island operation We do thisresearch on the condition that the outputs of DGs are richand can meet the need of local loads When the single-phasegrounding short circuit fault occurs the response curves ofload bus voltage and absorbed powers of induction motorin the conventional DGs grid-connected system (shown inFigure 2) the response curves of load bus (Bus 2) voltageabsorbed powers of induction motor and DC bus voltage areshown in Figure 5
In general if a 038 kV AC bus voltage in low voltagedistribution network is lower than 09 pu or higher than 11 puafter a large disturbance formore than the specified limit time(eg 1 s or above) it can be considered that the low voltageAC bus is transient voltage instability [12] In this paper thetransient voltage stability of low voltage DC bus obeys thesame rules too
As can be seen from Figures 5(a) and 5(b) for theconventional system after the single-phase grounding shortcircuit fault occurs and the relay protection acts the load busvoltage drops rapidly to 08 pu or less and the load bus isconsidered to be unstable thus causing the active and reactivepower absorbed by induction motor to have oscillations andfinally to be below rated values (rated active power is 1 puand rated reactive power is 05 pu) The limitation of theconventional system is that the inverter control function of
DGs is simple and the transient voltage stability of load buscannot be guaranteed while facing disturbances
In this paper the DGsrsquo inverters adopt outlet voltagecontrol strategy simulation results show that the transientvoltage stability of load bus cannot be maintained by theinverters without the support of power grid
If the inverters adopt constant power control strategythe outputs of DGs will remain constant under the normalenvironment after the disturbances After the relay protectionacts the load bus has the equation according to the powerbalance
119875pv + 119875wind = 119875119872 + 119875119878 = 119875119872 + ( 11198771199041 +119877s211987721199042 + 11988321199042)119880
22 (3)
It can be seen from Formula (3) in the case of rich outputsof DGs the load demand can be met so the load bus voltagerecovers quickly Accordingly the absorbed active power ofinduction motor begins to fall down after the oscillationFrom Formula (3) we can find that 1198802 will be lifted once119875119872 starts to decrease eventually causing the load bus voltageto climb continually And at this time the load bus is stillconsidered to be transient voltage instability It is necessaryto abandon the photovoltaic and wind power to protect themotor in time
The effectiveness of the control strategy of SST on thetransient voltage stability can be seen from Figures 5(a) and5(b) which reflects the SSTrsquos better ability of maintainingtransient voltage stability while facing disturbances Thoughthe fault is close to the SST input stage active control cannotbe taken by the SST to stabilize the grid-side surge currentand the current has to be regulated passively and the loadbus voltage can recover to the original rated value andmaintain the stability after experiencing rapid sagThereforethe absorbed powers of induction motor can recover to theoriginal rated values too
As shown in Figure 5(c) although the SST can maintainthe voltage stability of load bus by passive regulation if thereis no a battery energy storage station installed in the DC busthe DC bus voltage will keep climbing because the outputs ofDGs cannot be transmitted to the grid At this time we canconsider that the DC bus loses its transient voltage stability Itis harmful to the security and stability of the system and thephotovoltaic and wind power will have to be abandoned
The battery energy storage station plays an important rolein stabilizing the load bus voltage and DC bus voltage Asshown in Figure 5 in the DGs grid-connected system basedon SST the battery energy storage station can stabilize theload bus voltage and DC bus voltage greatly after the shotcircuit fault occurs and there is merely a slight oscillationAfter the relay protection acts theDCbus voltage is regulatedto the original rated value because of the function of energystorage station avoiding the voltage climbing phenome-non
Simulation results show there are similar conclusionswhen other short circuit faults occur at Line 1 for instancethe response curves of three-phase short circuit occurring atmidpoint of Line 1 are shown in Figure 6

43 Disconnection Fault Occurs at Any Location of Gird-Side Line When the line disconnection fault occurs at anylocation of the gird-side line (including Line 1 and Line 2)we can draw similar conclusions with the condition thatshort circuit faults occurs at Line 1 Taking the disconnectionoccurring at themidpoint of Line 1 for example the responsecurves are shown in Figure 8
5 Impact of Great Drop of DGsrsquo Total Outputon Transient Voltage Stability
The output of DG is affected by the weather greatly Thesudden changes in light intensity and wind speed will causesudden changes in the outputs of photovoltaic power plantand wind farm respectively which will affect the transientvoltage stability of the system
Considering the most adverse weather condition whenthe light intensity drops greatly and the wind turbine dropsout because wind speed is too large the sudden great dropof DGsrsquo total output can cause the load bus voltage to beinstability For the conventional system shown in Figure 2supposing that the total load power is 119875119871 + 119895119876119871 and the total

1198802 minus 11988010158402 = 119875Σ119877 + 119876Σ1198831198802 + (119875119871119877 + 119876119871119883)( 111988010158402 minus11198802) (4)
Since both photovoltaic and wind power have maximumpower control119876Σ is almost 0 Suppose the voltage drop ratio
is 119886 that is11988010158402 = 1198861198802 Put119876Σ = 0 and11988010158402 = 1198861198802 into Formula(4) we can get the following
119875Σ = (1 minus 119886)11988022 minus (1119886 minus 1) (119875119871119877 + 119876119871119883)119877 (5)
In Formula (5) if 1198802 is the rated value (1 pu) then 119886 takes09 And we can get the upper limit approximate value of totaloutput active power of DGs that is just right for maintainingthe system transient voltage stability when the total output

Using the parameters in the conventional system tocalculate according to Formula (5) it will figure out that theupper limit approximate value of DGsrsquo total output is 150 kWas 119886 takes 09 (because1198802 is very close to 1 pu) Now the totaloutput of DGs in the conventional system and the SST systemis set to be 150 kW respectively The simulation time is set tobe 2 s and the photovoltaic and wind power suddenly dropto 0 at 119905 = 06 s The response curves are shown in Figure 9
It can be known from Figures 9(a) and 9(b) that theload bus voltage in the conventional system is unstable afterthe great drop of DGsrsquo total output occurs and the voltagedrops to about 088 pu which is almost matching with thetheoretical value (09 pu) while in the SST system the loadbus and DC bus recover transient voltage stability quicklyWhen it comes to the SST system with a battery energystorage station the voltages of load bus and DC bus arealmost not affected by the disturbance As can be seen fromFigure 9(c) for the SST system without a battery energystorage station before the great drop of DGsrsquo total outputoccurs the reactive power transmitted from the grid is 0because of the control of the SST input stage while the activepower is minus02MW because of the plenty outputs of DGsAfter the total output of DGs drops to 0 the low voltagedistribution network supplies a certain amount of powers tohelp to maintain the bus voltage at this moment

Figure 4 Schematic diagram of line fault location
To save space and take the aesthetics into considerationmost urban low voltage distribution networks use cable linesInsulation aging or damage is the main cause of cable faults
41 Short Circuit Fault Occurs at Line 1 Line 1 may haveshort circuit faults though there are fewer lines in it Once thefault occurs each stage of the SST has to regulate the voltagepassively Therefore we focus on the influence on the systemtransient voltage stability when different short circuit faultsoccur at Line 1
Take the typical single-phase grounding short circuit faultas an example Now set the simulation time as 2 s After time119905 = 04 s the system enters stable operation When 119905 =06 s single-phase grounding short circuit fault occurs at themidpoint of Line 1 and the fault duration is 01 s The relayprotection acts and removes the fault line when 119905 = 065 sWe focus on the system transient voltage stability when thecut line is no longer reinput because 038 kV low voltage cableline has generally no reclosing device
After the line is cut off the grid loses power and theDGs enter the state of isolation island operation We do thisresearch on the condition that the outputs of DGs are richand can meet the need of local loads When the single-phasegrounding short circuit fault occurs the response curves ofload bus voltage and absorbed powers of induction motorin the conventional DGs grid-connected system (shown inFigure 2) the response curves of load bus (Bus 2) voltageabsorbed powers of induction motor and DC bus voltage areshown in Figure 5
In general if a 038 kV AC bus voltage in low voltagedistribution network is lower than 09 pu or higher than 11 puafter a large disturbance formore than the specified limit time(eg 1 s or above) it can be considered that the low voltageAC bus is transient voltage instability [12] In this paper thetransient voltage stability of low voltage DC bus obeys thesame rules too
As can be seen from Figures 5(a) and 5(b) for theconventional system after the single-phase grounding shortcircuit fault occurs and the relay protection acts the load busvoltage drops rapidly to 08 pu or less and the load bus isconsidered to be unstable thus causing the active and reactivepower absorbed by induction motor to have oscillations andfinally to be below rated values (rated active power is 1 puand rated reactive power is 05 pu) The limitation of theconventional system is that the inverter control function of
DGs is simple and the transient voltage stability of load buscannot be guaranteed while facing disturbances
In this paper the DGsrsquo inverters adopt outlet voltagecontrol strategy simulation results show that the transientvoltage stability of load bus cannot be maintained by theinverters without the support of power grid
If the inverters adopt constant power control strategythe outputs of DGs will remain constant under the normalenvironment after the disturbances After the relay protectionacts the load bus has the equation according to the powerbalance
119875pv + 119875wind = 119875119872 + 119875119878 = 119875119872 + ( 11198771199041 +119877s211987721199042 + 11988321199042)119880
22 (3)
It can be seen from Formula (3) in the case of rich outputsof DGs the load demand can be met so the load bus voltagerecovers quickly Accordingly the absorbed active power ofinduction motor begins to fall down after the oscillationFrom Formula (3) we can find that 1198802 will be lifted once119875119872 starts to decrease eventually causing the load bus voltageto climb continually And at this time the load bus is stillconsidered to be transient voltage instability It is necessaryto abandon the photovoltaic and wind power to protect themotor in time
The effectiveness of the control strategy of SST on thetransient voltage stability can be seen from Figures 5(a) and5(b) which reflects the SSTrsquos better ability of maintainingtransient voltage stability while facing disturbances Thoughthe fault is close to the SST input stage active control cannotbe taken by the SST to stabilize the grid-side surge currentand the current has to be regulated passively and the loadbus voltage can recover to the original rated value andmaintain the stability after experiencing rapid sagThereforethe absorbed powers of induction motor can recover to theoriginal rated values too
As shown in Figure 5(c) although the SST can maintainthe voltage stability of load bus by passive regulation if thereis no a battery energy storage station installed in the DC busthe DC bus voltage will keep climbing because the outputs ofDGs cannot be transmitted to the grid At this time we canconsider that the DC bus loses its transient voltage stability Itis harmful to the security and stability of the system and thephotovoltaic and wind power will have to be abandoned
The battery energy storage station plays an important rolein stabilizing the load bus voltage and DC bus voltage Asshown in Figure 5 in the DGs grid-connected system basedon SST the battery energy storage station can stabilize theload bus voltage and DC bus voltage greatly after the shotcircuit fault occurs and there is merely a slight oscillationAfter the relay protection acts theDCbus voltage is regulatedto the original rated value because of the function of energystorage station avoiding the voltage climbing phenome-non
Simulation results show there are similar conclusionswhen other short circuit faults occur at Line 1 for instancethe response curves of three-phase short circuit occurring atmidpoint of Line 1 are shown in Figure 6

43 Disconnection Fault Occurs at Any Location of Gird-Side Line When the line disconnection fault occurs at anylocation of the gird-side line (including Line 1 and Line 2)we can draw similar conclusions with the condition thatshort circuit faults occurs at Line 1 Taking the disconnectionoccurring at themidpoint of Line 1 for example the responsecurves are shown in Figure 8
5 Impact of Great Drop of DGsrsquo Total Outputon Transient Voltage Stability
The output of DG is affected by the weather greatly Thesudden changes in light intensity and wind speed will causesudden changes in the outputs of photovoltaic power plantand wind farm respectively which will affect the transientvoltage stability of the system
Considering the most adverse weather condition whenthe light intensity drops greatly and the wind turbine dropsout because wind speed is too large the sudden great dropof DGsrsquo total output can cause the load bus voltage to beinstability For the conventional system shown in Figure 2supposing that the total load power is 119875119871 + 119895119876119871 and the total

output of DGs is 119875Σ + 119895119876Σ the load bus voltage drops to 11988010158402when the DGsrsquo total output drops to 0 suddenly there will be[12]
1198802 minus 11988010158402 = 119875Σ119877 + 119876Σ1198831198802 + (119875119871119877 + 119876119871119883)( 111988010158402 minus11198802) (4)
Since both photovoltaic and wind power have maximumpower control119876Σ is almost 0 Suppose the voltage drop ratio
is 119886 that is11988010158402 = 1198861198802 Put119876Σ = 0 and11988010158402 = 1198861198802 into Formula(4) we can get the following
119875Σ = (1 minus 119886)11988022 minus (1119886 minus 1) (119875119871119877 + 119876119871119883)119877 (5)
In Formula (5) if 1198802 is the rated value (1 pu) then 119886 takes09 And we can get the upper limit approximate value of totaloutput active power of DGs that is just right for maintainingthe system transient voltage stability when the total output

drops to 0When theDGsrsquo total output is equal or greater thanthe upper limited approximate value in the actual operationof the system and drops to 0 suddenly the load bus will loseits transient voltage stability in general
Using the parameters in the conventional system tocalculate according to Formula (5) it will figure out that theupper limit approximate value of DGsrsquo total output is 150 kWas 119886 takes 09 (because1198802 is very close to 1 pu) Now the totaloutput of DGs in the conventional system and the SST systemis set to be 150 kW respectively The simulation time is set tobe 2 s and the photovoltaic and wind power suddenly dropto 0 at 119905 = 06 s The response curves are shown in Figure 9
It can be known from Figures 9(a) and 9(b) that theload bus voltage in the conventional system is unstable afterthe great drop of DGsrsquo total output occurs and the voltagedrops to about 088 pu which is almost matching with thetheoretical value (09 pu) while in the SST system the loadbus and DC bus recover transient voltage stability quicklyWhen it comes to the SST system with a battery energystorage station the voltages of load bus and DC bus arealmost not affected by the disturbance As can be seen fromFigure 9(c) for the SST system without a battery energystorage station before the great drop of DGsrsquo total outputoccurs the reactive power transmitted from the grid is 0because of the control of the SST input stage while the activepower is minus02MW because of the plenty outputs of DGsAfter the total output of DGs drops to 0 the low voltagedistribution network supplies a certain amount of powers tohelp to maintain the bus voltage at this moment
6 Conclusions
The development of the technology of DGs has realized theeffective integration and efficient utilization of renewable
energies distributed around the world It has practical sig-nificance to study on the transient voltage stability of theDGs grid-connected system and it is meaningful for realizingthe change from a traditional fossil-fuel grid to a futuregreen smart grid In this paper we use PSCAD softwareto study the transient voltage stability of the low voltagedistributed network integrated with DGs based on SST underthe condition of cable line fault and sudden drop of DGsrsquo totaloutput and concluded as follows
(1) Using a SST for the integration of DGs and thedistribution network has advantages on the systemtransient voltage stability while facing different faultsThe influence of grid-side line short circuit faulton the transient voltage stability is related to faultlocation and the line disconnection fault is not thecase Even if SST has to regulate the voltage passivelywhen the fault occurs at the line close to the SST inputstage the regulation function of SST still canmaintainthe voltage transient stability of load bus This avoidsload bus in the conventional DGs gird-connectedsystem losing its transient voltage stability effectivelywhile facing such faults and improves utilization ofDGs and reliability of power supply
(2) Although the SST control makes the load bus havebetter transient voltage stability the DC bus voltageis easy to keep climbing continually when the shortcircuit occurs at the line side that is close to the SSTinput stage or the line disconnection occurs at anylocation of the line At this moment the DC bus canbe considered to be transient voltage instability andthis is a new transient voltage stability phenomenonin the DGs gird-connected system using SST It isharmful to the security and stability of the system

42 Short Circuit Fault Occurs at Line 2 If short circuit faultoccurs at Line 2 the information can be picked up and thesurge current can be steadied by the active control of the SSTinput stage and it merely has little effect on the load busvoltage and DC bus voltage even if the most serious three-phase short circuit fault occurs as shown in Figure 7
43 Disconnection Fault Occurs at Any Location of Gird-Side Line When the line disconnection fault occurs at anylocation of the gird-side line (including Line 1 and Line 2)we can draw similar conclusions with the condition thatshort circuit faults occurs at Line 1 Taking the disconnectionoccurring at themidpoint of Line 1 for example the responsecurves are shown in Figure 8
5 Impact of Great Drop of DGsrsquo Total Outputon Transient Voltage Stability
The output of DG is affected by the weather greatly Thesudden changes in light intensity and wind speed will causesudden changes in the outputs of photovoltaic power plantand wind farm respectively which will affect the transientvoltage stability of the system
Considering the most adverse weather condition whenthe light intensity drops greatly and the wind turbine dropsout because wind speed is too large the sudden great dropof DGsrsquo total output can cause the load bus voltage to beinstability For the conventional system shown in Figure 2supposing that the total load power is 119875119871 + 119895119876119871 and the total

1198802 minus 11988010158402 = 119875Σ119877 + 119876Σ1198831198802 + (119875119871119877 + 119876119871119883)( 111988010158402 minus11198802) (4)
Since both photovoltaic and wind power have maximumpower control119876Σ is almost 0 Suppose the voltage drop ratio
is 119886 that is11988010158402 = 1198861198802 Put119876Σ = 0 and11988010158402 = 1198861198802 into Formula(4) we can get the following
119875Σ = (1 minus 119886)11988022 minus (1119886 minus 1) (119875119871119877 + 119876119871119883)119877 (5)
In Formula (5) if 1198802 is the rated value (1 pu) then 119886 takes09 And we can get the upper limit approximate value of totaloutput active power of DGs that is just right for maintainingthe system transient voltage stability when the total output

Using the parameters in the conventional system tocalculate according to Formula (5) it will figure out that theupper limit approximate value of DGsrsquo total output is 150 kWas 119886 takes 09 (because1198802 is very close to 1 pu) Now the totaloutput of DGs in the conventional system and the SST systemis set to be 150 kW respectively The simulation time is set tobe 2 s and the photovoltaic and wind power suddenly dropto 0 at 119905 = 06 s The response curves are shown in Figure 9
It can be known from Figures 9(a) and 9(b) that theload bus voltage in the conventional system is unstable afterthe great drop of DGsrsquo total output occurs and the voltagedrops to about 088 pu which is almost matching with thetheoretical value (09 pu) while in the SST system the loadbus and DC bus recover transient voltage stability quicklyWhen it comes to the SST system with a battery energystorage station the voltages of load bus and DC bus arealmost not affected by the disturbance As can be seen fromFigure 9(c) for the SST system without a battery energystorage station before the great drop of DGsrsquo total outputoccurs the reactive power transmitted from the grid is 0because of the control of the SST input stage while the activepower is minus02MW because of the plenty outputs of DGsAfter the total output of DGs drops to 0 the low voltagedistribution network supplies a certain amount of powers tohelp to maintain the bus voltage at this moment
6 Conclusions
The development of the technology of DGs has realized theeffective integration and efficient utilization of renewable
energies distributed around the world It has practical sig-nificance to study on the transient voltage stability of theDGs grid-connected system and it is meaningful for realizingthe change from a traditional fossil-fuel grid to a futuregreen smart grid In this paper we use PSCAD softwareto study the transient voltage stability of the low voltagedistributed network integrated with DGs based on SST underthe condition of cable line fault and sudden drop of DGsrsquo totaloutput and concluded as follows
(1) Using a SST for the integration of DGs and thedistribution network has advantages on the systemtransient voltage stability while facing different faultsThe influence of grid-side line short circuit faulton the transient voltage stability is related to faultlocation and the line disconnection fault is not thecase Even if SST has to regulate the voltage passivelywhen the fault occurs at the line close to the SST inputstage the regulation function of SST still canmaintainthe voltage transient stability of load bus This avoidsload bus in the conventional DGs gird-connectedsystem losing its transient voltage stability effectivelywhile facing such faults and improves utilization ofDGs and reliability of power supply
(2) Although the SST control makes the load bus havebetter transient voltage stability the DC bus voltageis easy to keep climbing continually when the shortcircuit occurs at the line side that is close to the SSTinput stage or the line disconnection occurs at anylocation of the line At this moment the DC bus canbe considered to be transient voltage instability andthis is a new transient voltage stability phenomenonin the DGs gird-connected system using SST It isharmful to the security and stability of the system

drops to 0When theDGsrsquo total output is equal or greater thanthe upper limited approximate value in the actual operationof the system and drops to 0 suddenly the load bus will loseits transient voltage stability in general
Using the parameters in the conventional system tocalculate according to Formula (5) it will figure out that theupper limit approximate value of DGsrsquo total output is 150 kWas 119886 takes 09 (because1198802 is very close to 1 pu) Now the totaloutput of DGs in the conventional system and the SST systemis set to be 150 kW respectively The simulation time is set tobe 2 s and the photovoltaic and wind power suddenly dropto 0 at 119905 = 06 s The response curves are shown in Figure 9
It can be known from Figures 9(a) and 9(b) that theload bus voltage in the conventional system is unstable afterthe great drop of DGsrsquo total output occurs and the voltagedrops to about 088 pu which is almost matching with thetheoretical value (09 pu) while in the SST system the loadbus and DC bus recover transient voltage stability quicklyWhen it comes to the SST system with a battery energystorage station the voltages of load bus and DC bus arealmost not affected by the disturbance As can be seen fromFigure 9(c) for the SST system without a battery energystorage station before the great drop of DGsrsquo total outputoccurs the reactive power transmitted from the grid is 0because of the control of the SST input stage while the activepower is minus02MW because of the plenty outputs of DGsAfter the total output of DGs drops to 0 the low voltagedistribution network supplies a certain amount of powers tohelp to maintain the bus voltage at this moment
6 Conclusions
The development of the technology of DGs has realized theeffective integration and efficient utilization of renewable
energies distributed around the world It has practical sig-nificance to study on the transient voltage stability of theDGs grid-connected system and it is meaningful for realizingthe change from a traditional fossil-fuel grid to a futuregreen smart grid In this paper we use PSCAD softwareto study the transient voltage stability of the low voltagedistributed network integrated with DGs based on SST underthe condition of cable line fault and sudden drop of DGsrsquo totaloutput and concluded as follows
(1) Using a SST for the integration of DGs and thedistribution network has advantages on the systemtransient voltage stability while facing different faultsThe influence of grid-side line short circuit faulton the transient voltage stability is related to faultlocation and the line disconnection fault is not thecase Even if SST has to regulate the voltage passivelywhen the fault occurs at the line close to the SST inputstage the regulation function of SST still canmaintainthe voltage transient stability of load bus This avoidsload bus in the conventional DGs gird-connectedsystem losing its transient voltage stability effectivelywhile facing such faults and improves utilization ofDGs and reliability of power supply
(2) Although the SST control makes the load bus havebetter transient voltage stability the DC bus voltageis easy to keep climbing continually when the shortcircuit occurs at the line side that is close to the SSTinput stage or the line disconnection occurs at anylocation of the line At this moment the DC bus canbe considered to be transient voltage instability andthis is a new transient voltage stability phenomenonin the DGs gird-connected system using SST It isharmful to the security and stability of the system
