High penetration of inverter-based power plants such as photovoltaics (PVs) will reduce bulk power systems’ inertia and undermine frequency response. In this study, the industry-grade full-detail interconnection models were further
validated by synchrophasor frequency measurements and projected PV geographic distribution information were used to develop extra-high PV penetration scenarios and dynamic models for the three main U.S. interrconnections, including Eastern Interconnection (EI), Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC), and Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). Up to 65% instantaneous PV and 15% wind penetration were simulated and the frequency response change trend of each U.S. interconnection due to the increasing PV penetration level were examined. Moreover, practical solutions to address the declining frequency response were discussed.
