A method for providing grid-forming control of an inverter-based resource includes monitoring the electrical grid for one or more grid events. The method also includes controlling, via a power regulator of a controller, an active power of the inverter-based resource based on whether the one or more grid events is indicative of a severe grid event. In particular, when the one or more grid events are below a severe grid event threshold, thereby indicating the one or more grid events is not a severe grid event, the method includes controlling, via the power regulator, the active power according to a normal operating mode. Further, when the one or more grid events exceed the severe grid event threshold, thereby indicating the one or more grid events is a severe grid event, the method includes controlling, via the power regulator, the active power according to a modified operating mode. Moreover, the modified operating mode includes temporarily re-configuring the power regulator to reduce or eliminate power overloads induced by the severe grid event for as long as the one or more grid events exceed the severe grid event threshold.

The present invention relates to an aggregation method for dispatching the wind and solar power plants. The primary technical solutions include: introducing the power output complementarity indexes to characterize the average effect of the degree of power output complementarity between different power stations, using cohesive hierarchical clustering to identify the optimal cluster division under different division quantities, and introducing the economic efficiency theory to determine the optimal cluster quantity, which avoids the randomness and irrationality that may result from relying on the subjective determination of the number of clusters. According to the analysis of dozens of real-world wind and solar power cluster engineering in the Yunnan Power Grid, the results show that the invention can effectively reduce the number of directly dispatched power stations, and the uncertainty of wind and solar power output can be more accurately described in a cluster manner, presenting better reliability, concentration, and practicality.

A method for describing power output of a cluster of wind and solar power stations considering time-varying characteristics. The error function is employed to characterize the degree of difference in power output within periods, and split-level clustering is used to determine the optimal period division under different period division quantities.

This method can reasonably divide the wind and solar power output period, fully reflecting the time-varying law of wind and solar power generation. The results also can accurately reflect the distribution characteristics of the power output of the power station group at each time period, and the power output each time period shows better reliability, concentration, and practicality.
