Abstract

Small-disturbance damping characteristics have become a critical concern in renewable-dominated power systems under low short circuit ratio (SCR) conditions. In heterogeneous systems composed of grid-following photovoltaic (GFL-PV) and grid-forming energy storage system (GFM-ESS) units, strong dynamic coupling may weaken the damping of critical oscillation modes, thereby complicating stability analysis and coordinated parameter tuning. This paper proposes a damping enhancement strategy for a low-SCR GFL-PV/GFM-ESS system. The main innovation is an integrated damping-oriented framework that links detailed small-disturbance modeling, dominant-mode identification, participation-factor analysis, parameter-sensitivity evaluation, and coordinated optimization. First, a dynamic model including GFL-PV, GFM-ESS, and their coupling is established, and the corresponding linearized model is verified. Then, eigenvalue, modal, participation-factor, and sensitivity analyses are performed to identify weakly damped modes, key state variables, and sensitive parameters. Furthermore, a Joint Opposite Selection-enhanced particle swarm optimization (JOS-PSO) strategy is proposed to tune multiple coupled parameters. Simulation results under different operating conditions show that the proposed method improves damping characteristics, small-disturbance stability, and dynamic performance.
