Abstract:
This project investigates the frequency stabilization of highly-distributed future
AC networks with high penetration of wind generation and energy storage
systems. The investigation focuses on frequency stabilization during unintended
split of the AC network into small clusters following large network disturbances,
and during power unbalance due to the variability of the wind farms output,
which are operated with a maximum power tracking scheme. Such frequency
stabilization mechanism will be crucial in any practical realization of future
micro and smart grids where the priority is to prevent loss of electricity supply
following large permanent network faults.
