The Impact

Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions constitute a worldwide trend. According to this trend, there are many plans in place for the replacement of conventional electric power plants operating using fossil fuels with renewable energy sources (RESs). Owing to current needs to expand the RES penetration in accordance to a new National power system plan, the importance of RESs is increasing. The RES penetration imposes various impacts on the power system, including transient stability. Furthermore, the fact that they are distributed at multiple locations in the power system is also a factor which makes the transient impact analysis of RESs difficult. In this study, the transient impacts attributed to the penetration of RESs are analyzed and compared with the conventional Korean electric power system. To confirm the impact of the penetration of RESs on transient stability, the effect was analyzed based on a single machine equivalent (SIME) configuration. Simulations were conducted in accordance to the Korean power system by considering the anticipated RES penetration in 2030. The impact of RES on transient stability was provided by a change in CCT by increasing of the RES penetration.

The Impact

Given its total contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, the global electric power sector will be required to undergo a fundamental transformation over the next decades to limit anthropogenic climate change to below 2 °C. Implications for biodiversity of projected structural changes in the global electric power sector are rarely considered beyond those explicitly linked to climate change. This study uses a spatially explicit consumption-based accounting framework to examine the impact of demand for electric power on terrestrial vertebrate biodiversity globally. We demonstrate that the biodiversity footprint of the electric power sector is primarily within the territory where final demand for electric power resides, although there are substantial regional differences, with Europe displacing its biodiversity threat along international supply chains. The relationship between size of individual components of the electric power sector and threat to biodiversity indicates that a shift to nonfossil sources, such as solar and wind, could reduce pressures on biodiversity both within the territory where demand for power resides and along international supply chains. However, given the current levels of deployment of nonfossil sources of power, there is considerable uncertainty as to how the impacts of structural changes in the global electric power system will scale. Given the strong territorial link between demand and associated biodiversity impacts, development of strong national governance around the electric power sector represents a clear route to mitigate threats to biodiversity associated with efforts to decarbonize society over the coming century.

The Impact

Transient stability analysis is conducted to determine the ability of the electric power system in maintaining the operating stability after a major disturbance. The disturbance can be trigger an impact on the stability of the rotor angle, voltage, and system frequency which can cause loss of synchronization. In this paper, the impact of the interconnection of the Tombolo-Pao mini hydro power plant (MHPP) on the stability of the system was analyzed by several scenarios to determine the behavior of system parameters in a 20 kV system interconnection network. This research is an implementation of regulatory provisions relating to the study of the connection to the PLN distribution network through by regulator. Based on the result of simulation study, transient stability of generators at TomboloPao power plant about 0.1 second, will not occur with network configuration according to modeling activation of anti-islanding protection of Tombolo Pao Power Plant which is set by 2 second. The simulation results show that the location of the disturbance in the electric power system has been influenced by the behavior of the power plant (synchronous generator) which can lead to the instability of the micro-hydro connected to the micro-grid system 20 kV.

The problem of the influence of power fluctuations of wind farms due to the variability of the wind speed on the electric power system is considered. With high wind energy penetration, an increase in the operating reserve in electric power systems is required to cover possible sudden power fluctuations. One of the ways to reduce the stochastic nature of the wind farms power generation is their geographically distributed location. A method is proposed for the selection of capacity and distributed placement of wind farms, taking into account the factor of the variability of the total generated power. In each of the prospective areas for wind farm placement, the simulation of electricity generation by a single wind turbine with hour-by-hour breakdown is carried out using the developed WindMCA software based on long-term ground-based weather stations data. Optimization of wind farms capacity and their distributed placement in areas is carried out using a genetic algorithm in the MATLAB environment. The target function is the coefficient of variation of the power generated by all wind farms in the areas under consideration, depending on the number of wind turbines therein. Power duration curves are used in the final comparison of wind farms siting options. The application of the method is carried out on the example of the wind farms placement in the Zabaykalsky Krai. A solution has been obtained that provides a minimum coefficient of variation of the wind farms generated power and a relatively high capacity utilization factor. With a distributed location of wind farms, the duration of the period with the maximum output is reduced, however, the duration of low power generation is significantly increased. With an increase in the number of wind farms connected to various nodes of the electric power system, a certain guaranteed level of power generation can be obtained, which, ultimately, will reduce the required amount of the reserve of generating capacities.
