A wind power system differs from a conventional power system. In a conventional power plant, the operator can control the plant’s output. The output of a wind farm cannot be controlled because the output fluctuates with the wind. In this study, we investigated only the fixed-frequency induction generator, often used with wind turbines. We adopted the worst-case scenario and conducted a per-phase, per-turbine analysis. Our analysis showed a strong interaction among the wind farm, the utility grid, and the individual generator. In this paper, we investigate the power-system interaction resulting from power variations at wind farms using steady-state analysis. We use the characteristic of a real windsite on a known weak grid. We present different types of capacitor compensations and use phasor diagrams to illustrate the characteristics of these compensations. The purpose of our study is to provide wind farm developers with somc insights on wind farm power systems.

Background: Over the past few years, the subsynchronous oscillation (SSO) caused by the grid-connected wind farm had a bad influence on the stable operation of the system and has now become a bottleneck factor restricting the efficient utilization of wind power. How to mitigate and suppress the phenomenon of SSO of wind farms has become the focus of power system research. Methods: This paper first analyzes the SSO of different types of wind turbines, including squirrelcage induction generator based wind turbine (SCIG-WT), permanent magnet synchronous generator- based wind turbine (PMSG-WT), and doubly-fed induction generator based wind turbine (DFIG-WT). Then, the mechanisms of different types of SSO are proposed with the aim to better understand SSO in large-scale wind integrated power systems, and the main analytical methods suitable for studying the SSO of wind farms are summarized. Results: On the basis of results, using additional damping control suppression methods to solve SSO caused by the flexible power transmission devices and the wind turbine converter is recommended. Conclusion: The current development direction of the SSO of large-scale wind farm grid-connected systems is summarized and the current challenges and recommendations for future research and development are discussed.

Wind Power System

The integration of wind farms has a significant impact on the power system reliability. An appropriate model used to assess wind power system reliability is needed. Establishing multi-objective models (wind speed model, wind turbine generator output model and wind farm equivalent model) and based on the non-sequential Monte Carlo simulation method to calculate risk indicators is a viable method for quantitatively assessing the reliability of power system including wind farms. The IEEE-RTS 79 test system and a 300MW wind farm are taken as example.The calculation resluts show that using the multi-objective models can improve accuracy and reduce error; the higher average wind speed obtains the better system reliabitity accordingly.

Power systems have developed significantly because of the increasing share of renewable energy sources (RESs). Despite the advantages, they also bring inevitable challenges to power system stability, especially under extreme fault conditions. This paper presents a practical active support control strategy for RESs to support the power grid under extreme fault conditions. The proof process is taken in an AC-DC hybrid power grid integrated with large capacity of PV stations and wind farms. The on-site engineering test results reflect that RESs bring potential risks in the AC-DC hybrid power grid operation and validate the excellent engineering practical features of the proposed control strategy. In addition, test results also reveal predisposing factors of power system instability which are missing in the simulation and fault simulation device-based testing results. They prove the outstanding advantages of on-site engineering tests.

Renewable energy is an emerging candidate in power generation for the compensation of the exhausted fossil fuel, in which wind energy plays an important role. However, how wind farms impact existing power systems has still been a subject on which many researchers are studying. This study has analyzed and evaluated the four wind farms consisting of Ca-Mau (300 MW), Bac-Lieu (99 MW), Soc-Trang (100 MW) and Tra-Vinh (33 MW) located in Southern Vietnam via using the commercial package, WAsP software. Ca-Mau wind farm has the highest planned rated capacity with 51.7% among the wind farms. Each wind farm is built from three different types of wind turbines (1 MW, 2 MW and 3 MW). The estimation has shown that all of the wind farms could produce 2,265 GWh annually, and the 3-MW wind turbines are the most efficient and give the smallest losses for producing wind energy. The wind farms, with respect to environmentally friendly aspects, could avoid 978,544 tCO2 emitted to the environment annually. Additionally, the ETAP program has also been applied to simulate the effects of the proposed wind farms on the national power system including the disturbances from wind speeds, three-phase bus faults, tripping off wind farms and three-phase line faults on the power system. The results show that the wind farms are only slightly impacted.

The wind speed sequences at different spatial positions have a certain spatiotemporal coupling relationship. It is of great significance to analyze the clustering effect of the wind farm(s) and reduce the adverse impact of large-scale wind power integration if we can grasp this relationship at multiple scales. At present, the physical method cannot optimize the time-shifting characteristics in real time, and the research scope is concentrated on the wind farm. The statistical method cannot quantitatively describe the temporal relationship and the speed variation among wind speed sequences at different spatial positions. To solve the above problems, a quantification method of wind speed time-shifting characteristics based on wind process is proposed in this paper. Two evaluation indexes, the delay time and the decay speed, are presented to quantify the time-shifting characteristics. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified from the perspective of the correlation between wind speed sequences. The time-shifting characteristics of wind speed sequences under the wind farms scale and the wind turbines scale are studied, respectively. The results show that the proposed evaluation method can effectively achieve the quantitative analysis of time-shifting and could improve the results continuously according to the actual wind conditions. Besides, it is suitable for any spatial scale. The calculation results can be directly applied to the wind power system to help obtain the more accurate output of the wind farm.

The penetration level of large-scale wind farms into power systems has been increasing significantly, and the frequency stability and transient stability of the power systems during and after a network fault can be negatively affected. This paper proposes a new control method to improve the stability of power systems that are composed of large wind farms, as well as usual synchronous generators. The new method is a coordinated controlling method between an adjustable-speed pumping generator (ASG) and a battery. The coordinated system is designed to improve power system stability during a disconnection in a fixed-rotor-speed wind turbine with a squirrel cage-type induction generator (FSWT-SCIG)-based wind farm due to a network fault, in which a battery first responds quickly to the system frequency deviation due to a grid fault and improves the frequency nadir, and then the ASG starts to supply compensatory power to recover the grid frequency to the rated frequency. The performance of the proposed system was confirmed through simulation studies on a power system model consisting of usual synchronous generators (SGs), an ASG, a battery, and an SCIG-based wind farm. Simulation results demonstrated that the proposed control system can enhance the stability of the power system effectively.

Definition Of

The technical, economic, and environmental constraints related to the construction of new transmission lines are complex issues related to the definition of points for connecting new offshore wind farms (OWFs) to the grid. In this context, it has become an important research topic to choose the best OWF connection point to a power system, among some geographically close to each other within a given region, aiming at ensuring maximum generation capacity of the wind farm and safe use of existing transmission network. The objective of this work is to present a methodology to determine the optimal OWF connection point in a power system, with maximum penetration of firm wind power and minimum loss, considering security constraints related to the “N−1” contingency criterion, exchange limits between areas, and a strategy to reduce the number of constraints in the optimization problem. The algorithm is modeled using a Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP), and it is evaluated in a tutorial system and three well-known other networks from literature: IEEE 14-Bus, IEEE RTS-79, and Southern Brazilian System.

Current methods to determine the wind farms maximum size do not consider the effect of new wind generation on the Voltage Stability Margins (VSMs). Installing wind power in one area may affect VSMs in other areas of the power system. Buses with high VSMs before wind power injection may be converted into weak buses after wind power injections in other parts of power systems, which may lead to limited future wind farms expansion in other areas. In this paper, two methods are proposed to determine two new wind farms maximum size in order to maximize wind power penetration level. In both methods, the size of any new wind farm is determined using an iterative process which is increased by a constant value. Proposed methods were used in the IEEE 14-bus power system. The results of applying these new methods indicate that the second method results in higher maximum sizes than the first method.

Power Fluctuation

Wind power penetration to power systems is increasing rapidly in the recent years due to its environmental benefit, while wind power fluctuation also brings some problems to power system operation which impacts the generation of conventional power units. For this reason, probabilistic optimal dispatching model based on multi-scenasio is developed in this paper. With the discretization of wind power fluctuations range, the scenario probability can be get by discretizing wind power prediction error distribution curves, at the same time considering the relevance of the prediction error of the adjacent periods in the time scale. By means of leading probability adjustment costs into objective function, the optimization result can consider the cost due to the fluctuation of wind power. The rationality and effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by testing and demonstrating IEEE-39 bus system with a wind farm.
