Generator Size Background


System Studies - Grid Codes Many markets are currently installing or discussing

installing large amounts of renewable generation

Of all the renewable energy sources, wind is currently the most viable technology

In the past wind farms were generally small (tens of MWs) and connected mainly to distribution systems

Today most of the wind farms planned are +100 MWs and many are being connected to sub-transmission and transmission level

This prompts the need for systems analysis in the early stages of wind farm development to ensure proper integration into the transmission system

Background

Why shall large wind plants NOT match the same demands as other large traditional power plants ?

Reactive power balance

Generators giving local reactive power support are being retired, this disturbs reactive power balance.

Load sensitivity regarding both fundamental frequency and harmonic voltages is increased. Customers are more sensitive to outages.

Changed and often reversed power flow calls for studies and actions.

Point A is equivalent to: 0.95 leading Power Factor at Rated MW outputPoint B is equivalent to: 0.95 lagging Power Factor at Rated MW outputPoint C is equivalent to: -5% of Rated MW output Point D is equivalent to: +5% of Rated MW output


Possible FACTS Application

An SVC at the Connection Point can be used to control the entire, or part of, the reactive power.

An SVC at the Connection Point makes it possible to minimize the losses within the wind farm and mitigates the risk for over voltages as well as reduce resonance problems.



Historically, wind farms have been excluded from the demand that generating devices should contribute to voltage stability. They cannot, however, expect to enjoy this favorable treatment forever.

Many regulatory authorities adapt the requirement that the wind parks should be able to vary there reactive power output depending on the grid voltage level.

Voltage Stability, Introduction

Voltage Stability


Possible FACTS Applications

An centrally placed SVC stabilizes the grid.

A solution with an SVC at PCC contribute to voltage stability independent of the active power production.

Frequency control

As well as for the voltage stability,

new wind generation units are requested

to contribute to frequency stability.

Possible FACTS Applications Frequency Control

Active power needed.

A FACTS device equipped with an energy storage is a possible solution.

Clustering of smaller wind farms into larger production units makes it easier to apply solutions.


Fault ride through

Minimum fault the system is required to survive.

Symmetric and asymmetric faults.

Ride-Through


Advantages with an SVC at Connection Point

Fault Ride-Through is first and foremost a question for the Wind turbine generator manufacturers.

An SVC can have a significant impact on the system after clearance of the fault.
