Index for allocation of tidal current power plant for reactive margin improvement

摘要

The oceanic energies from tidal currents have been drawing attention around the world, and many small power plants were deployed. The allocation of renewables in the power grid must consider some requirements, including the voltage stability. This paper presents an index for evaluating the best site to allocate a tidal current power plant in the power system, considering an improvement in the QV margin in the buses near the renewable-based plant.
