Optimized dispatch of wind farms with power control capability for power system restoration

Space-time wind speed forecasting for improved power system dispatch

To support large-scale integration of wind power into electric energy systems, state-of-the-art wind speed forecasting methods should be able to provide accurate and adequate information to enable efficient, reliable, and cost-effective scheduling of wind power. Here, we incorporate space-time wind forecasts into electric power system scheduling. First, we propose a modified regime-switching, s...

Modeling Wind Farms for Power System Stability Studies

The proper modeling of wind energy projects in system studies is becoming increasingly important to system operators and transmission system owners. The amount of wind generation is growing rapidly and wind farms are growing in size and complexity. Wind farms are being installed consisting of hundreds of units, with the wind farm capable of producing hundreds of MW. The location of a wind farm ...

Solution of Active Power Dispatch and Control for Interconnected Power Grids with Large-Scale Wind Power Integration

As large-scale wind power has been and will be integrated into power grid, traditional Active Power Dispatch and Control (APDC) system has encountered new challenges. In this paper, the active power dispatch mode of interconnected power grids which is suitable for the large-scale integration of wind power is analyzed firstly. Secondly, it is pointed out that traditional decentralized balance co...

Power Quality Monitoring for Wind Farms

With the increasing amount of wind power generation connected to the power grid, the importance of measuring the wind turbines’ power characteristics and power quality characteristics is growing. By capturing this data, one can achieve improved utilization of the turbine by manipulating its control systems in accordance to power grid requirements for voltage/frequency fluctuations and fault con...
