| contents | As inverter-based generation is being massively deployed in the grid, these type of units have to take over the current roles of conventional generation, including the capability of restoring the grid. In this context, the resonances of the grid during the first steps of a black start can be concerning, given that the grid is lightly loaded. Especially relevant are the low frequency resonances, that may be excited by the harmonic components of the inverter. A typical strategy to avoid or minimize the effect of such resonances relies on connecting load banks. This was fairly feasible with conventional generation, but given the limited ratings of inverters, the amount of load that can be connected at the beginning is very limited. In this paper we consider the energization of a transmission line, and investigate the optimal location of a load along a line in order to maximize the damping in the system. By analysing the spectral properties as a function of the load location, we formally prove that placing the load in the middle of the transmission line maximizes the damping ratio of the first resonance of the system. |
