Large scale integration of wind energy in Colombia: Electrical analysis-part I

摘要

This work is the first part of a study that aims to analyze the technical and economic implications of the penetration of wind power in the Colombian Interconnected system (SIN). Using the software DigSilent™, studies of steady state, contingencies and short-circuit were conducted in order to identify problems of stress, overload, voltage profiles, transmission bottlenecks and the most neuralgic elements for the operation of the proposed wind parks. Additional electrical studies, such as stability, power quality, voltage ride through capability, and the development of some indicators associated with the penetration of wind power in Colombia, will be addressed on a second part of this work.
