Preliminary results from the More Advanced Control Advice Project for secure operation of isolated power systems with increased renewable energy penetration and storage

摘要

In this paper, preliminary results from MORE CARE, a European R&D project financed within the Energy Program are described. This project has, as its main objective, the development of an advanced control software system, aiming to optimize the overall performance of isolated and weakly interconnected systems in liberalized market environments by increasing the share of wind energy and other renewable forms, including advanced online security functions. The main features of the control system comprise advanced software modules for load and wind power forecasting, unit commitment and economic dispatch of the conventional and renewable units and online security assessment capabilities integrated in a friendly man-machine environment. Pilot installations of advanced control functions are foreseen on the islands of Crete, Ireland and Madeira.
