摘要
Over the last decade, many power systems have significantly changed with the proliferation of renewable generation sources, such as wind and solar photovoltaic. Due to their variability and nonsynchronous nature, new challenges and complexities have emerged regarding operational security of modern power systems. The 2016 South Australia (SA) blackout was the first known blackout due to such a high renewable situation. An official report has recently been published to review the causes and provide the corresponding recommendations for improvement of network operation, control, and security. However, there are still a number of critical issues and debates which remain unsolved, such as network bottleneck identification, overvoltage explanation, pole slip concern, frequency dip mystery, and frequency/voltage instability debate. In this paper, based on the reconstruction of the event, these unsettled issues are prudently analyzed to unveil their root causes. In addition, an innovative scheme is proposed to prevent the blackout by identifying the network separation at an early stage. This research will not only further advance the understanding of the 2016 SA blackout, but also will provide valuable guidelines for the management of future renewable-rich networks.
