The Impact

Renewable Energy especially wind energy integration has attained profound growth across the worldwide power system. Wind energy integration at large scale comes up with the challenge on voltages and reactive power management at power system level. The research work presented in this paper has analyzed the impact of wind energy on reactive power reserve with special reference to Hebei Southern Power System. The maximum wind power integration capacity is calculated, and the effect of increasing wind power integration on voltage profiles is studied. Possible controls from system sides and its effects on wind power integration are explored. Study shows that with the increase of the wind power integration capacity, the intermittency and variation will bring more serious problems to the system frequency regulation, reserve service and voltage control. These problems also become the limiting factors for further increase of large-scale wind power integration. In order to make a better use of wind power resources in Heibei province and maintain system safety at the same time, further research should be performed on exploring the reactive and active power regulation and control of the wind farm and the methods to decrease the variability of wind farm outputs.

The Impact

The scale of wind power plants is increasing continuously in Vietnam. The installed capacity of the largest wind farm is about 50MW by the end of this year. Therefore, power system planners will need to study their impact onthe power system in more detail. Wind energy conversion systems are very different in nature from conventional generators. Therefore dynamic studies must be addressed in order to integrate wind power into the power system. The impact of this wind power on voltage distribution levels has been addressed in the literatures. The majority of this work deals with the determination of the maximum active and reactive power that is possible to be connected on a system load bus, until the voltage at that bus reaches the voltage collapse point. This article introduces the methods of research standards, evaluation criteria of stable electricity supply; it identifies the centers of loads and focuses on the branch is "weak" in small signal stability to improve operational efficiency, reliability in electricity power supply.

Large scale integrating of wind power generation into a grid may raise serious stability issues. In this case energy storage systems seem to be suitable for balancing power and energy between the inconstant wind parks generation and the grid. In this paper, the impact of high wind power penetration on the dynamic performance and stability of power systems is investigated. More precisely, the focus of this study is to assess the operation of pump storage systems in the autonomous power system of a large island such as Crete. Results of this study show that it is possible to achieve a large wind power penetration without significant dynamic security problems, if wind energy pump storage units are in operation.

But as a result of wind power is a kind of intermittent energy sources, and put it into use in a large scale only just beginning. Many urgent problems which affect on system stability need to be resolved, such as voltage stability, reactive power compensation. This paper discussed the problems which around the reactive power compensation and angle stability issues while wind power integration.

The technology of large-scale wind power connected to grid is a key technology in the application of wind power. However, the large-scale wind power will cause the negative effect on the voltage of grid. So, the regulation of reactive power is necessary, which can stabilize the voltage level of the grid. The doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG) themselves own the ability of providing reactive power. Considering the reactive power demand when the power grid is operating, and then rationally allocating static and dynamic reactive power compensation equipment, the operational efficiency can be improved. The particle analyzes the reactive power limit of DFIG, considering the limit of stator and rotor. In this way, the reactive power compensation capacity of DFIG is used first, the use of reactive power compensation equipments are greatly reduced, so the economy of the wind farm is obviously improved.
