This article proposes a flexible control scheme (FCS) of a photovoltaic (PV) power plant to support the voltage stability and provide fast recovery after the grid faults in a power system with high penetration renewable energy sources (RES). To achieve these goals, the proposed FCS includes two control loops: a reactive current (IQ) injection loop and a frequency-damping control (FDC) loop. The IQ injection loop injects IQ in proportion to the terminal voltage of the PV during a fault. After the fault clearance, the FDC loop provides active and/or reactive power modulation to stabilize system frequency; then, the FDC loop puts the system recovery forward by damping out the remaining synchronous machines' frequency oscillations. The FDC loop comprises active power damping function without PV power curtailment and reactive power damping function. We verified the proposed FDC's performance in a two-area system for various penetration levels of inverter-based resources using a PSCAD simulator. We investigated the control schemes' effectiveness by comparing the efficiency and the response in mitigating the post-fault oscillations and restoring the voltage regulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
