2. Abstract:

Driven by global carbon neutrality ambitions, inverter-based resources such as wind turbines, solar panels, and battery storage systems have become main power sources. This trend transitions power systems from synchronous generator-dominant to highly power-electronic-based architectures. However, the inherent limitations of inverter-based resources, including weak active/reactive power support, low overload capability, and complex control characteristics, continuously constrain the power supply-demand balance boundary, degrade system safety and stability, and substantially increase the risk of frequency and voltage instability. Consequently, for the power systems with high-penetration of inverter-based resources, there is an urgent need to conduct modeling and optimization studies to enhance system stability performance from the perspectives of system configuration and operation.
