Wind Power Plant Modeling for the Conditions of Grid-Connected Mode: Integration

EasyChair Preprint 7082

Abstract

The load demand to the power grid, as well as the interest in clean and low-cost energy resources, lead to the high integration of wind power plants into the power system grid. There are grid code standards that are set for the design and integration of these wind power plants. These codes often look at the design operation of the wind power plant in islanded mode, where possible analysis of the most sensitive power system quantities such as voltage, frequency, reactive power, etcetera is done. Therefore, attention needs to be paid to the application of these codes to keep the design and integration of wind power plants well standardized as much as possible. The purpose of this research is to review and discuss the literature and theory about the design of the wind turbine generators, model the wind power plant, and integrate it into the power system grid while adhering to the grid code requirements.

Keyphrases: Integration, Point of Common Coupling, Renewable power plant, South African Renewable Grid Code Standards, Wind Turbine Generator Unit, Wind Turbine Power Coefficient, wind power plant, wind turbine
