Dynamic security issues in autonomous power systems with increasing wind power penetration

摘要

Technical requirements set by the network operators nowadays include various aspects, such as fault ride-through capability of wind turbines during faults, voltage-reactive power control and overall control of the wind farms as conventional power plants. Detailed models for the power system as well as for the wind farms are therefore essential for power system studies related to these issues, especially when applied to non interconnected systems with high wind power penetration. Detailed generic models for three different wind turbine technologies - Active Stall Induction Generator (ASIG), Doubly Fed Asynchronous Generator (DFAG) and Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) - are applied and issues regarding interaction with the power system are investigated. This paper provides conclusions about the dynamic security of non-interconnected power systems with high wind power penetration based on a complete model representation of the individual components of the system; three different types of conventional generators are included in the model, while the protection system is also incorporated. The load shedding following faults is finally discussed. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
