Power system stability analysis under increasing penetration of photovoltaic power plants with synchronous power controllers

The utilisation of renewable sources brings many benefits to electric power systems, but also some challenges such as the impact that renewable power plants employing power electronics have on the grid, which is gaining importance as the penetration of this type of generating stations increases, dri...
