Influence of huge renewable Power Production on Inter Area Oscillations in the European ENTSO-E-System

摘要

Abstract: After the enlargement of the European ENTSO-E power system towards Turkey at the end of 2010, the East-West Inter-Area Oscillation mode in the enlarged the European ENTSO-E power system has been identified in the frequency range of 0.15 Hz (T P = 7s) accompanied by insufficient damping. By the end of 2012, more than 107 GW of wind generation capacity had been installed across Europe, representing about 25% of the peak demand of ENTSO-E power system. In this paper, the impact of large scale wind power generation in the European ENTSO-E system on the North-South Inter-Area Oscillation mode using a detailed dynamic model of the European ENTSO-E system is investigated by gradually replacing the power generated by the synchronous generators in the system either Full Size Converter or Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) wind turbines. Because the whole system is extremely nonlinear, the analysis method in state space is senseless; therefore the damping behavior of Inter-Area-Oscillations of the whole system was analyzed in detail using the analysis method in time domain. The model was created using DIgSILENT software.
