The use of wind farms and virtual power plants for emergency control in the future smart super grids

Abstract

Impending inevitable coupling of Russian power grid with national power grids of contiguous countries demands creation of special test power network models to investigate beforehand various dynamic phenomena which will take place in such immense power grids. In the view of such prospect, power grids of China and European Union (EU) can evoke special attention. For the present there is not possibility to create the detailed power network models of the trance-national power grids, which could be available for open access, because of the well-known national safety reasons. This paper illustrates the way to overcome partly the barriers for team-work of experts from different countries by the example of EU-Russia power network model. The main goal of the investigation in this paper is creation of a test power network model and then the demonstration of this power network model utilization for integration of emergency control in smart super grid containing both of virtual power plants and wind farms.
