The paper presents the results of Wind Power Plant (WPP) influence during its integration to the electrical grid of110 kV and higher, as well as the help of Power System Stabilizer (PSS) to the power system. Providing stability is the most important aspect in the electric power industry, especially when renewable energy sources (RES), in particular WPPs are integrated. When integrating a large amount of RES into the power system, there are challenges for the System Operator associated with generation instability and undamped low-frequency oscillations (LFO). The aim of this work is to study the impact of WPPs integration into traditional power system considering the standards and requirements and the use of PSS in the power system to prevent LFO during WPP integration. The object of the study is an installed WPP in the Almaty region with a capacity of 60 MW. WPP with DFIG type connection to the grid. Rotor-angle stability, small signal stability, voltage stability of the electrical system during the integration of the WPP was carried out. It should be noted that when integrating WPPs into electrical networks without revising the existing PSS at traditional power plants, the oscillatory stability of the power system may decrease.

The increasingly important use of renewable energy resources within the electricity networks has changed the paradigm of electrical power system operation. This shift is enforced by the ever-present power electronic devices, which are used both at generation side, as well as on the consumption side, cluttering the normal operation, and issuing new threats from power quality point of view. However, the new technology involved in the advanced metering systems, such as Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs), is helping both transmission and distribution operators to efficiently manage the electrical system, by correctly identify the upcoming threats for a priori calculations, as well as the causes which may have led to faults, for a posteriori evaluation. This paper deals with the widespread use of PMU-based advanced metering systems.

Dynamic models of power plants may change during its operation due to physical processes and human error. Inaccurate dynamic power plant models may affect the operation and planning of power systems. Hence, keeping the model updated is crucial. Traditionally, dynamic models of power plants are calibrated by offline staged tests. Recently, PMU based remote calibration techniques are developed in attempt to calibrating the dynamic models remotely and reducing the frequency of offline calibration. This paper presents the implementation of PMU based dynamic model calibration of Type-4 Wind Turbine Generators by using the Ensemble Kalman Filter. The implementation is done by using PSS®E in PythonTM environment, and validated by using WSCC-9 Bus System.

Standalone hybrid systems based on renewable energy sources may represent a convenient and cost effective option for powering isolated consumers located far from the existing grid. In this study the focus is on particular photovoltaic-wind-diesel-battery systems which supply mobile telephony base stations. In the study, both the consumption of telecommunication electronic equipment and the consumption of cooling devices are taken into account. Nine characteristic locations across Europe with different climatic conditions were selected for comparative techno-economic assessment. For each location, a comprehensive simulation and optimization routine was performed, in order to find the optimal system configuration and the minimum amount of total annualized costs. The obtained results are discussed and some conclusions regarding system sizing at different locations are drawn.

The paper investigates hybrid energy systems that could be applied in case of a swimming pool complex in order to reduce exploitation costs and increase renewable energy usage. The presented approach starts with the assessment of the chosen building at the level of energy consumption, and utility costs, along with two proposed system configurations: one proposed by the RE-COGNITION innovation project, and one proposed by the authors based on the market solutions. The mentioned cases represent two hybrid energy systems using conventional sources, renewable energy, and highly efficient cogeneration units. The two proposed system configurations are simulated using the HOMER Pro program which allows a wide analysis along with techno-economic indicators of the different scenarios. Results and comparisons are presented to highlight the feasibility of the two proposed cases.

The converter transformer of a VSC HVDC station can be driven into saturation caused by external grid events as short-circuits or the energization of nearby transformers. These effects are classified as inrush phenomena and named recovery inrush and sympathetic inrush, respectively. In this paper, a thorough study on different influencing factors on the inrush magnitude and its impact on the operation of the HVDC system is analyzed based on electromagnetic transient analysis using an average based EMT MMC HVDC model. As important parameters for the analysis of the recovery inrush the short-circuit ratio, the time point of fault inception and the fault duration, the fault distance and the fault resistance are selected. The impact of these parameters on the inrush intensity and the transients of the transformer and converter currents as well as active and reactive powers during the inrush events are analyzed and worst-case scenarios evaluated. By evaluation of internal converter signals, it is checked whether the converter is able to maintain stability for different inrush intensities.

Forecast errors in wind power forecasting are unavoidable due to the complex nature of weather systems and other influences. As a result, quantifying wind power uncertainty is essential for optimally operating grids with a high share of wind energy. This paper uses the quantile smoothing splines (QSS) regression to estimate conditional quantiles of wind power forecast error for a given wind power forecast. This approach is tested using data from eight wind farms in South Africa and evaluated using reliability, sharpness, resolution, and skill score. The results are compared to that of two commonly used approaches: linear regression and fitting beta distributions in different bins. Despite the slight superiority of QSS regression, this paper finds that the results of QSS regression and fitting beta distributions in different bins are comparable. The benefit of using QSS regression, however, is that it is a nonparametric approach that produces smooth results with no discontinuities, and no need for parameter estimations for each bin, making it easily applicable. System operators can use the estimated quantiles to allocate operating reserves and hence ensure the efficient integration of wind farms into the power grid.

Grid-forming wind turbines are a promising technology for weak grids with a high penetration of converter-based power sources. The droop control, the synchronverter, and the virtual synchronous machine grid-forming control topologies are benchmarked by voltage and frequency stability performance from a frequency disturbance under different grid conditions (by varying short-circuit ratio, X/R ratio, and the inertia). The wind turbines are modelled in an offshore wind farm application and the frequency disturbance are scaled to 5% of the installed capacity. The study have shown that the virtual synchronous machine performs best regarding frequency and voltage compliance in weak grids under a frequency disturbance. DC-link modelling is essential for dynamic simulations of grid-forming converters, as grid perturbations can drain the link for energy.

Our already presented co-simulation, consisting of a real-time power grid simulation and a virtualization of the communication infrastructure, enables a joint and holistic view of the two subsystems. If the IEC 61850 communication standard is used throughout, a substation can be completely described in terms of network technology in their defined substation configuration language (SCL). Our framework presented here enables the automated initialization of the virtual network and its transfer to co-simulation. The complete mapping of different IEC 61850 communication services generates a complete, process-relevant database of network traffic. For purpose of our co-simulation approach, with coupling on the process bus, the focus lies on the IEC 61850-8-1 Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) and Generic Object-Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE) communication and the relations between initialized Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs). Based exclusively on IEC 61850 substation configuration descriptions (SCD), the framework enables this implementation of a simplified static communication network using network virtualization. All consisting Access points with underlying IEDs, Logical Devices, Logical Nodes and Data Objects are specified and used to rebuild an existing IEC 61850 communication infrastructure and initialize the relevant communication services. The research shows the possibilities and limitations of the automated generation of the network for use in co-simulation.
