Program outline

Ancillary Services: Research Results From Wind Power Plants

• Definitions and requirements for ancillary service

• Technical capabilities of wind power plants to provide ancillary services - state-of-the-art industry and R&D (simulation based) perspectives

• What are the economic incentives and barriers to providing ancillary services?

• What are the next steps for researchers, developers, system operators and turbine manufacturers to allow further penetration of wind into European grids?

Definitions of ancillary services

• CIGRÉ report - overview of International Practices – definitions for ancillary services can differ significantly based on

who is using the terms. While some definitions emphasize the importance of ancillary services for system security and reliability, others mention the use of ancillary services to support electricity transfers from generation to load and to maintain power quality

• Some TSOs are including more specific types of ancillary services than others because

– differences in the definitions (above) – some of the required properties of the generation plants are

embedded in conventional power plants using directly grid connected synchronous generators.

– new ancillary service products seem to pop up in power systems with large scale penetration of renewables.

Requirements for – and types of – ancillary services

• Active power reserves (using ENTSO-E glossary) – Frequency containment reserves (FCR) – Frequency restoration reserves (FRR) – Replacement reserves (RR)

• Properties required to maintain power system stability today (Energinet.dk terminology)

– Short-circuit power – Continuous voltage control – Voltage support during faults – Inertia

• Possible additional ancillary service products (research references) – Fast frequency response (and inertia support) – Synchronising power – Power oscillation damping – Black-start capability

Wind speed 0.6pu

Short-term overproduction capability Wind speed 0.93pu Wind speed 1.1pu

Below rated wind speed, the overproduction is followed by recovery period

The higher the wind speed, the shorter the recovery period

The higher the overproduction power: the longer the recovery period and the larger the power underproduction -> frequency stability might

be affected the higher the shaft torque -> high mechanical stress of the turbine

No power recovery needed above rated wind speed

OffshoreDC Conclusions

• Onshore frequency variations can be mirrored offshore • Hence, WPPs can provide frequency control through

HVDC with communication-less scheme • Fast control actions are inhibited by ramp rate limiters in

the WPP • In a P2P connection, communication-based and

coordinated solutions are equivalent, as far as frequency control and inertial response are concerned

• There must be sufficient primary reserves in the power system synchronous area to replace lost production corresponding to dimensioning fault

• This brings power system from normal state to alert state

• Frequency restoration (secondary / tertiary) reserves will return system to normal state in 15 minutes

• Larger faults (loss of generation) may bring system into disturbed (or emergency) state

• Therefore, maximum 15 minute wind power forecast errors are essential to esure adequacy of primary reserves

Summary and reflections on technical capabilities • WPPs can provide basic ancillary services and replace conventional

power plants • Also possible to provide enhanced ancillary services – emulating

synchronous generators (inertia-like response, power oscillation damping and synchronizing power)

– … but is this the optimal solution in future systems? • Ancillary services can also be provided from HVDC connected WPPs

34 Danish Smart Grid Research Network 2014-09-05

Page 36: Ancillary services from wind power plants Research results · ancillary service products (research references) – Fast frequency response (and inertia support) – Synchronising

DTU Wind Energy, Technical University of Denmark

Economic incentives and barriers • Incentives:

– Technical requirements for grid connection! – Higher prices for reserves than for power (e.g. low – and even

negative power prices) – Co-generation with other production technologies (ramp support) – Enables higher wind power penetration

• Barriers: – Symmetric (up/down) requirement (Spain – TWENTIES)

• Downwards reserves from WPPs is feasible with high penetration

• … loads are more feasible as upwards reserves – Length (= prediction horizon) of reserve products – Development costs for new products – Additional hardware costs – Verification needs for new products –certification costs

– Frequency support – Voltage support – System restoration support

• Research priorities – Further development of enhanced wind power capabilities from

wind turbine level up to cluster level, including the related design tools and models;

– Testing and verification of frequency and voltage capabilities, and methods of proving compliance of new solutions for advanced capabilities with Grid Codes and standards;

– Harmonisation, standardisation and interoperability of methods and technologies for delivering ancillary services with wind power.

Next steps to allow further penetration of wind into European grids? • Researchers

– Propose strategies for ancillary services from wind and other sources to ensure system stability with massive scale wind power

• Special focus on power system security with increasing levels of non-synchronous generation

• Not necessarily emulation of synchronous generators – other smarter solutions!!

– Develop and implement new controls in simulation tools – Simulation based validation of ancillary services from wind – Develop tools to assess the value of new ancillary services

• Developers / owners – Assess the value of new ancillary services

• System operators – Validate and implement strategies to ensure system security

• Turbine / plant manufacturers – Develop and implement new ancillary service capabilities in full
