Title: Transmission system protection screening for integration of offshore wind power plants

Abstract

This paper develops an efficient methodology for protection screening of large-scale transmission systems as part of the planning studies for the integration of offshore wind power plants into the power grid. This methodology avails to determine whether any upgrades are required to the protection system. The uncertainty is considered in form of variability of the power generation by offshore wind power plant. This paper uses the integration of a 1000 MW offshore wind power plant operating in Lake Erie into the FirstEnergy/PJM service territory as a case study. This study uses a realistic model of a 63,000-bus test system that represents the U.S. Eastern Interconnection.

Small-Signal Stability Analysis of Large-Scale Power Systems in Response to Variability of Offshore Wind Power Plants

Journal Article Sajadi, Amirhossein ; Zhao, Shuang ; Clark, Kara ; ... - IEEE Systems Journal

This paper presents a methodology for a small-signal stability analysis of large-scale power systems in response to variability of offshore wind power plants. This study considers the variability of wind power as the source of disturbance introduced to the system. To accomplish this goal, a singular value decomposition-total least squares extended Prony analysis is used to assess the small-signal voltage stability. In addition, a swing-based frequency response metric is used to assess the small-signal frequency stability. The case study here considers the integration of a 1000-MW offshore wind power plant, operating in Lake Erie, into the FirstEnergy/PJM service territory. Thismore »« less

Great Lakes O shore Wind Project: Utility and Regional Integration Study

Technical Report Sajadi, Amirhossein ; Loparo, Kenneth A. ; D'Aquila, Robert ; ...

This project aims to identify transmission system upgrades needed to facilitate offshore wind projects as well as operational impacts of offshore generation on operation of the regional transmission system in the Great Lakes region. A simulation model of the US Eastern Interconnection was used as the test system as a case study for investigating the impact of the integration of a 1000MW offshore wind farm operating in Lake Erie into FirstEnergy/PJM service territory. The findings of this research provide recommendations on offshore wind integration scenarios, the locations of points of interconnection, wind profile modeling and simulation, and computational methods tomore »« less

Transient Stability Analysis for Offshore Wind Power Plant Integration Planning Studies - Part I: Short Term Faults

Journal Article Sajadi, Amirhossein ; Kolacinski, Richard M. ; Clark, Kara ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications

Power system planning is the process of forecasting load demand and ensuring sufficient generation and reserve capacities over some planning horizon. This process includes investigation of steady-state and dynamic operation of power system of interest. This paper addresses the transient stability (also known as large-signal stability) analysis of power systems for offshore wind power plant integration planning studies. In particular, this study develops a comprehensive practical methodology to assess transient stability of power systems, including rotor angle stability, voltage stability and frequency response for all fault types for large scale power systems. This methodology considers variability of the offshore windmore »« less

WINS. Market Simulation Tool for Facilitating Wind Energy Integration

Technical Report Shahidehpour, Mohammad

Integrating 20% or more wind energy into the system and transmitting large sums of wind energy over long distances will require a decision making capability that can handle very large scale power systems with tens of thousands of buses and lines. There is a need to explore innovative analytical and implementation solutions for continuing reliable operations with the most economical integration of additional wind energy in power systems. A number of wind integration solution paths involve the adoption of new operating policies, dynamic scheduling of wind power across interties, pooling integration services, and adopting new transmission scheduling practices. Such practicesmore »« less
