Abstract:
When confronted with urgent issues, people often rush
to implement solutions without fully assessing their long-term
implications. This tendency can be seen in the current shift
towards renewable energy amid increasing environmental issues
and climate change concerns. While the pressure to embrace
green technologies mounts, integrating renewable power sources
into existing systems to curb carbon emissions poses significant
challenges, notably in the area of power system stability maintenance.
Although complex and sophisticated solutions are available to
tackle system instability, implementation often encounters delays
due to high capital costs and other complexities. Therefore, ensuring reliable operation of the power system becomes paramount
until these solutions are effectively deployed. This article explores
potential strategies for maintaining power system stability amidst
renewable energy integration, with a focus on Governor Setting
Optimization—a highly effective and swiftly implementable solution. Various algorithmic approaches for optimizing governor
settings are discussed, along with a comparison of their pros and
cons.
