A Comprehensive Review of Small-Signal Stability and Power Oscillation Damping through Photovoltaic Inverters

This paper focuses on the methods that ensure the rotor angle stability of electric power systems, which is most frequently analyzed with small-signal models. Over the past several decades, power system stabilizers (PSSs) for conventional excitation systems were the main tools for improving the smal...
