1 2010 International Conference on Power System Technology 1 Variable Renewable Generation and Grid Operation Amit Jain, Member, IEEE, and Kamal Garg Abstract-- With the advancement in wind and solar technology, now large wind-farms and PV systems are being integrated in the power system. This brings new level of challenges for both protection and planning engineers. This paper reviews the renewable power generation technologies available in the current market and challenges in integrating these in the grid. An introduction is provided for the renewable energy available; including wind, solar and ocean etc. This paper also discusses an example of the large renewable project including system planning; establishing the type of generation sources available and discussion of benefits. The paper also discusses the information required for the planning engineer, types of study and challenges before integrating in the existing system. In the end this paper discusses a real life example and sub-synchronous resonance interaction between wind-farm and series capacitor. need for Low-Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) capability in order to ensure satisfactory system performance.

OVERVIEW OF RENEWABLE ENERGY PLANNING ELIABLE power system operation requires ongoing balancing of supply and demand in accordance with the prevailing operating criteria and standards, such as those established by NERC [1]. Operating power grids are almost always in a changing state due to fluctuations in demand, generation, and power flow over transmission lines, maintenance schedules, unexpected outages and changing interconnection schedules. The characteristics of the installed power system equipment and its controls and the actions of system operators play a critical role in ensuring that the bulk power system performs acceptably after disturbances and can be restored to a balanced state of power flow, frequency and voltage. II. NORTH AMERICA INTERCONNECTION PROCEDURES AND STANDARDS [1, 2] North American grid interconnection is shown in Fig. 1. One can easily visualize that there is an interrelationship between standards as bulk system reliability standards may affect the equipment standards and vice versa. For example, in some jurisdictions, wind resources may need to address the Dr. Amit Jain is Head of Power System Research Center at IIIT, Gachibowli, Hyderabad, India ( amit@iiit.ac.in). Kamal Garg is with the Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Pullman, WA USA Fig. 1. North America Grid Interconnection The overall behavior expected from a power system with high levels of variable generation will be different from what is experienced today; therefore both the bulk power system equipment design and performance requirements must be addressed. In this respect, reliability-focused equipment standards must be further developed to facilitate the reliable integration of additional variable generation into the bulk power system. However, NERC s focus on standards is on system performance and neutral to specific technologies or designs. From a bulk power system reliability perspective, a set of interconnection procedures and standards are required which applies equally to all generation resources interconnecting to the power grid. There is considerable work required to standardize basic requirements in these interconnection procedures and standards, such as the ability of the generator owner and operator to provide: 1. Voltage regulation and reactive power capability; 2. Low and high voltage ride-through; 3. Inertial-response (effective inertia as seen from the grid); 4. Control of the MW ramp rates and/or curtail MW output; and 5. Frequency control (governor action, AGC etc.) /10/$ IEEE
2 2 A good example of the development of interconnection procedures and standards is the voltage ride-through requirement. The bulk of the power grid is exposed to the elements (i.e. severe weather) and subject to many conditions that can cause faults on the grid. The protective relaying and control schemes on the transmission system are designed to detect and clear line faults within a few cycles. During this very short period of time, the fault can cause system voltages to drop to very low levels and it is important that generation resources do not trip from the grid during the fault period or post fault conditions due to zero/low voltage at their terminal. The impacts of large-scale penetration of variable generation should be considered in terms of timeframes: seconds-to-minutes, minutes-to-hours, hours-to-days, days-toone week and beyond. Planners also must address longer time frames, sometimes up to 30 years, for both transmission and resource adequacy assessments. In the seconds-to-minutes timeframe, bulk power system reliability is almost entirely controlled by automatic equipment and control systems such as Automatic Generation Control (AGC) systems, generator governor and excitation systems, power system stabilizers, automatic voltage regulators (AVRs), protective relaying and special protection and remedial action schemes, and fault ridethrough capability of the generation resources. From the minutes through one week timeframe, system operators and operational planners must be able to commit and/or dispatch needed facilities to re-balance, restore and position the bulk power system to maintain reliability through normal load variations as well as contingencies and disturbances. For longer timeframes, power system planners must ensure that adequate transmission and generation facilities with proper characteristics are built and maintained so that operation of the system remains reliable throughout a range of operating conditions. In this respect, the inherent flexibility of the incumbent generating fleet may be assessed by the: 1. Range between its minimum and maximum output levels; 2. Ability to operate at any MW level from minimum and maximum output levels; 3. Start time; and 4. Ramping capability between the minimum and maximum output levels To maintain reliable and efficient operation of the power system, operators must use forecasts of demand and generator availability. Today the majority of supply-demand balancing in a power system is achieved by controlling the output of dispatchable generation resources to follow the changes in demand. Typically, a smaller portion of the generation capacity in a control area is capable of and is designated to provide Automatic Generation Control (AGC) service in order to deal with the more rapid and uncertain demand variations often within the seconds-to minutes timeframe. AGC is expected to play a major role in managing short-term uncertainty of variable generation and to mitigate some of the short-term impacts (i.e., intra-hour) associated with variable generation forecast error. Hence, it may be necessary for planners and operators to review and potentially modify the AGC performance criteria, capabilities and technologies to ensure that these systems perform properly. AGC typically includes both load frequency and interchange control algorithms that work together to optimally move generating units on AGC to maintain system frequency. The AGC system resides in the system control center and monitors the imbalance between generation and demand within a Balancing Area. III. VARIABLE GENERATION TECHNOLOGY Variable generation technologies generally refer to generating technologies whose primary energy source varies over time and cannot reasonably be stored to address such variation. Variable generation sources which include wind, solar, ocean and some hydro generation resources are all renewable. There are two major attributes of a variable generator that distinguish it from conventional forms of generation and may impact the bulk power system planning and operations: variability and uncertainty. Steady advances in equipment and operating experience spurred by policy incentives and economic drivers have led to the maturation of many variable generation technologies technical feasibility and cost of energy from nearly every form of variable generation have significantly improved since the early 1980s. The major underlying technologies include: A. Wind Generation: Wind power systems convert the movement of air into electricity by means of a rotating turbine and a generator. Wind power has been among the fastest growing energy sources over the last decade, with around 30 percent annual growth in worldwide installed capacity over the last five years. On- and off-shore wind energy projects are now being built worldwide, with the commercial development of very large wind turbines (up to 5 MW) and very large wind plant sizes (up to several GW). Many large projects are installed all over in Europe and North America and now China and India have also taken lead in large scale wind power generation projects. A typical windfarm consists of large number of generators connected to the grid interconnections point. Windfarm generates operates at 690V with a step up transformer at each generator to step up the voltage to normally 34.5kV. Another step up transformer connects the windfarms to utility grid which may be operating at 230/345 or 500kV. There are mainly four types of induction generators that are used in the windfarms. 1. Type 1 Induction Generators - The simplest and earliest form of wind turbine-generator in common use is comprised of a squirrel cage induction generator that is driven through a gearbox. This wind generator, known
3 3 as Type 1, operates within a very narrow speed range (fixed speed) dictated by the speed-torque characteristic of the induction generator. As wind speed varies up and down, the electrical power output also varies up and down per the speed-torque characteristic of the induction generator. The primary advantage of Type 1 induction generators is their simplicity and low cost. A major disadvantage is the significant variation in real and reactive power output correlated to wind speed changes. Type 1 wind turbines generally incorporate reactive compensation in the form of staged shunt capacitors to correct power factor. 2. Type 2 Variable-slip Induction Generator - The variable-slip induction generator is similar to the Type 1, except the generator includes a wound rotor and a mechanism to quickly control the current in the rotor. Known as Type 2, this generator has operating characteristics similar to the Type 1, except the rotorcurrent control scheme enables a degree of fast torque control, which improves the response to fast dynamic events and can damp torque oscillations within the drive train. Type 1 and 2 wind turbines have limited performance capability. 3. Type 3 Double-fed induction (asynchronous) generator (DFG) - Power electronic applications have led to a new generation of wind generating technologies with utility interface characteristics which can make a large contribution to overall power system performance and provide for improved operation and system reliability than earlier technologies. The double-fed induction (asynchronous) generator (DFG), or Type 3 wind turbine-generator, includes a mechanism that produces a variable-frequency current in the rotor circuit. This enables the wind turbine-generator to operate at a variable speed (typically about 2:1 range from max to min speed), which improves the power conversion efficiency and controllability of the wind turbinegenerator. The fast response of the converters also enables improved fast voltage recovery and voltage ride-through capability. Advanced features include governor-type functions (for speed control in Type 3 and 4) and, in some cases, dynamic reactive power can be supplied when the wind turbine is not generating real power. Figure 2 shows the example of a typical type 3 windfarm machine. 4. Type 4 Wind Turbine-Generator (full conversion) - The Type 4 wind turbine-generator (full conversion), passes all turbine power output through an AC-DC-AC power electronic converter system. It has many similar operating characteristics to the DFG (Type 3) system, including variable speed, reactive power control, pitch control, and fast control of power output. B. Solar Generation: Fig. 2. Example Type 3 Wind Turbine Generator Solar generation consists of two broad technologies, Solar Thermal and Photovoltaic: 1. Solar Thermal Generation: Solar thermal plants consist of two major subsystems: a collector system that collects solar energy and converts it to heat, and a power block that converts heat energy to electricity. Concentrating solar power (CSP) generators are the most common of the solar thermal systems. A CSP generator produces electric power by collecting the sun s energy to generate heat using various mirror or lens configurations. Other solar thermal systems, like the solar chimney and solar ponds, which collect solar heat without the aid of concentrators, are in development. 2. Solar Photovoltaic Generation: Solar photovoltaic (PV) converts sunlight directly into electricity. The power produced depends on the material involved and the intensity of the solar radiation incident on the cell. In order to interconnect with the AC power system, a PV system must use a power electronic inverter (much like wind turbine generators Types 4) to convert its DC output at the terminals of the PV panel into AC. As with solar thermal there are many forms of PV. C. Hydrokinetic Generation: There are three major categories of Hydrokinetic Generation: 1. Hydroelectric power harnesses the potential energy of fresh water on land. Those with reservoirs are normally not variable, but run-of-river hydroelectric plants are.
4 4 2. Wave power harnesses the energy in ocean waves - to date there are no commercial devices in operation. 3. Tidal power harnesses the gravitational energy in ocean water movements. There are a number of precommercial devices in existence. Tidal energy has a unique characteristic amongst the variable generation resources as its generation pattern corresponds to easily predictable tides. IV. CHALLENGES OF INTEGRATING RENEWABLE GENERATION Renewable resources such as Wind and solar (CSP) resources are typically located remote from load centers. This condition further heightens the need to pay careful attention to the issues of voltage stability and regulation. There are many large metropolitan and populated regions of the South and South Western states of the U.S. where the transmission system has become voltage stability limited due to growing residential load (particularly residential air-conditioning) and economic and environmental concerns pushing generation to be remote from the load centers. A typical solution for these scenarios has been reactive compensation at the transmission level near load centers (e.g. Static VAR Compensation). Locating conventional fossil-fired generation closer to the load centers can potentially mitigate the problem (due to the inherent reactive capability of synchronous generators), however many factors, such as emission constraints, economic reasons (cheaper power can be bought from remote generation if the transmission system is supported by smoothly control reactive support), etc., may preclude the viability of this option. The key issue here is, whether due to the advent of larger penetration of variable renewable generation resources (which are typically remote from load centers) or the fact that new conventional generation facilities of any kind, are being located more remotely from load centers, issues related to voltage control, regulation and stability must be carefully considered and the power system must have sufficient reactive power resources (both dynamic and static) to maintain reliability. The addition of significant amounts of variable generation to the bulk system changes the way that transmission planners must develop their future systems to maintain reliability. Current approaches are deterministic based on the study of a set of well-understood contingency scenarios. With the addition of variable resources, risk assessment and probabilistic techniques will be required to design the bulk power system. One vital goal of transmission planning is to identify and justify capital investments required to maintain power system reliability, improve system efficiency and comply with environmental policy requirements. A transmission planner is required to identify and advance new transmission facilities to maintain system reliability and improve system efficiency by allowing new demand growth to be supplied, managing transmission congestion, and integrating new generation resources, among other reasons. To perform transmission planning, the planner needs to study power flow, time-domain and small-signal stability along with short-circuit duty analyses tools using the software tools such as PSS/E or PSLF [3, 4]. If the renewable generation is connected next to the series compensated or HVDC lines, detailed harmonic and (sub synchronous resonance) should also be performed to evaluate the interaction of various components using the software tools such as PSCAD or EMTP RV [5]. The results of this study should also be verified using the field measurement and mitigation should be designed accordingly. The new windfarm generators are complex power electronics models and will require details detailed dynamic model from the windfarm manufacturer in order to perform the dynamic study correctly. NERC s Transmission Planning (TPL) Standards are deterministic in nature and are based on the pre-specification of critical conditions. However, with the incorporation of variable generation resources, planning process will need to be augmented as the number of scenarios for which sensitivity analysis must be performed to bracket the range of probable outcomes, which can dramatically increase. Probabilistic or risk-based approaches are becoming more popular worldwide for system planning. Some probabilistic planning criteria, tools and techniques have been developed over the past several decades; however, they will require critical review for completeness and applicability before they can become an industry-accepted approach to consistently measure bulk power system reliability. A comprehensive variable generation integration study should be conducted assessing the appropriate level of system flexibility to deal with system ramping and reserve needs. There are many different sources of system flexibility including; Ramping of the variable generation (modern wind plants can limit up- and down-ramps), Regulating and contingency reserves Reactive power reserves Quick start capability Low minimum generating levels The ability to frequently cycle the resources output. Additional sources of system flexibility include the operation of structured markets, shorter scheduling intervals, demand-side management, reservoir hydro systems, gas storage and energy storage. System planners must ensure that suitable system flexibility is included in future bulk power system designs, as this system flexibility is needed to deal with, among many conditions, the additional variability and uncertainty introduced into power system operations by large scale integration of variable generation. This increased variability/uncertainty occurs on all time scales, particularly in the longer timeframes, (i.e. ramping needs). As resources
5 5 become more distributed, control and storage equipment (e.g. STATCOMs, storage devices, SVCs) may also be distributed. In this respect, it may be necessary to relocate control and storage equipment to maintain proper function of the system as new resources connect. V. SSR & HARMONIC ANALYSIS Since most of the renewable energy sources are located at the remote locations. Hence these resources are connected via weak transmission network and require reactive power compensation. Reactive power compensation is provided by series, shunt capacitors or SVC etc. Sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) or sub-synchronous interaction (SSI) interaction is possible between the reactive power compensation source and windfarms. SSI is also observed between the thermal generation and reactive power compensation. SSR can result from the resonance due to electrical or mechanical properties. Windfarms near the reactive power compensation are affected from the electrical resonance where system equivalent inductance and capacitance are equal. In summary SSR is defined as the electrical resonance when series capacitor is near the gas turbine, thermal generators or windfarm. The SSR frequency of resonance is normally between 5 to 55Hz. The SSR resonance is classified as two types [6, 7]: Sub-synchronous Torsional Interaction (SSTI) Sub-synchronous Control Interaction (SSCI) Torsional SSR (SSTI) is known for years and results with interaction of power electronics devices with mechanical mass of generator. SSCI results of interaction between power electronics and series capacitors i.e. windfarm near series capacitors. For a resonance between the series capacitor and the system effective impedance (inductance L) the resonance frequency F1 is defined by equation 1. SSR is a direct concern if the frequency of the electrical resonance (F1) correlates with the complement of a mechanical mode of oscillation. i.e. F1 = 20 Hz and Fm=40 Hz (40 Hz = for a 60 Hz system). F1: ( 1 / 2π * LC ) (1) F1 = resonance frequency Voltages and currents are distorted due to the electrical resonance. It is also difficult to filter as they are close to 60 Hz. Special protection schemes are required to detect these low frequencies. Eigen value and frequency scan are the tools used for the analysis of harmonic frequency [5, 8, 9]. As mentioned earlier, detailed study should be performed for all the possible system contingencies and operating conditions to determine the SSR frequency and proper mitigation action should be designed accordingly. VI. LATEST TOOLS & POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM With the advancement of relays and protection engineering, many analysis tools, secure communication and software are available for real time analysis. For variable generation to provide power plant control capabilities, it must be visible to the system operator and able to respond to dispatch instructions during normal and emergency conditions. Realtime wind turbine power output, availability, and curtailment information is critical to the accuracy of the variable generation plant output forecast, as well as to the reliable operation of the system. It is critical that the area operator have real-time knowledge of the state of the variable generation plant and be able to communicate timely instructions to the plants. In turn, variable generation plant operators need to respond to directives provided by the area operator in a timely manner. Therefore, as small variable generation facilities grow into significant plants contributing significantly to capacity and energy, control areas will require sufficient communications for monitoring and sending dispatch instructions to these facilities. An example of the Power management system is shown the figure 3. The proposed Power management system is capable of collecting information from locations, relays and process the information accordingly for load shedding and controls [10]. First line of action can be visual information and alarms for area operator to control the load and generation. The second course of action may be automatic load shedding or generation control as required. Adequate communication of data from variable generation and enhanced system monitoring is not only a vital reliability requirement, but is also necessary to support the data analysis posed by other recommended NERC and Industry actions. In this respect, the deployment of phasor measurement units (PMUs) is a vital planning and operational tool and assist in monitoring the dynamic performance of the power system, particularly during highstress and variable operating conditions. Using the synchrophasors technology and PMU, it is possible to get the information about the system in real time and special protection scheme (SPS) can be implemented if undesirable system condition are detected [10]. Figure 4 shows the solution using synchophasors where multiple PMU s are shown on the same screen. Additional information such as voltage and frequency at each location can also be displayed in real time. Figure 5 shows another example using synchrophasors. Many modern wind turbines are capable of pitch control, which allows their output to be modified (curtailed) in real-time by adjusting the pitch of the turbine blades (i.e., spilling wind or feathering the blades ). By throttling back their output, wind plants are able to limit or regulate their power output to a set level or to set rates of change by controlling the power output on individual turbines. This capability can be used to limit ramp rate and/or power output a wind generator and it can also contribute to power system frequency control.
6 6 Fig. 3. Example Power Management System Fig. 4. System Overview Using Synchrophasors
7 7 Turbines without pitch control cannot limit their power output in the same fashion. However, a similar effect can be realized by shutting down some of the turbines in the wind plant (sometimes known as a wind farm ). Some Type 3 and Type 4 wind-turbine generators are also capable of controlling their power output in real time in response to variations in grid frequency using variable speed drives. This control feature could be useful or required for islanded systems or in interconnections with high penetration scenarios when the turbine can operate below the total available power in the wind. Type 3 and 4 wind-turbine generators do not automatically provide inertial response and, with large wind penetrations of these technologies, frequency deviations could be expected following a major loss of generation. Operators need to understand this characteristic when requesting reductions of output. t 1, V R1 t 1, V R3 t 1, V R4 VII. RECENT SSR EVENT IN TEXAS USA PROVIDERS Recently in 2009 series compensated 345kV interacted with the Kennedy windfarm in Texas and resulted in SSR. Based upon the study performed it was established that due to interaction of windfarms and series capacitors very high voltages were observed [2, 7]. Recently a SSR relay is installed to monitor the network harmonics and island the windfarms from the grid to mitigate the SSR condition. VIII. CONCLUSIONS This paper provides an insight into the existing renewable energy system and learning gained from their integration to the grid. We have also discussed the operational challenges for grid operators in integrating and operating large amount of variable generation in service. The paper also discusses the procedures and tools being utilized by NERC to integrate and operate large amount of renewable variable energy. The paper also highlights the effect of SSR event on system. Authors hope that the paper provides useful insight for the developing countries, especially for China and India which are leaping forward for large scale wind integration to the grid, about the challenges ahead and tools and procedures being followed in the area of variable renewable generation. t 1, V R2 Fig. 5. Synchrophasor and Real Time System Information The ability to regulate frequency and arrest any rise and decline of system frequency is primarily provided through the speed droop governors in conventional generators. Variable generation resources, such as wind power facilities, can also be equipped to provide governing and participate in frequency regulation. Some European power systems have already incorporated these features in some of their wind power facilities. It is envisioned that, with the continued maturing of the technology, wind generators may participate in AGC systems in the future. Ramping control could be as simple as electrically tripping all or a portion of the variable generation plant. Many European and some North American areas are requiring power management on wind power facilities such that the system operator can reduce the power level (or ramp rate limit) to a reliable limit that can be accommodated on the power system at that time. Hence power management system will be an integral part of grid operation and detailed testing and verification using the tools such as real time digital simulations (RTDS) is required before these systems can be installed. In addition with the popularity of IEC61850 protocol and GOOSE, it is possible to get information and control from different manufacturer equipments. Smart grid technology can help provide real time information from various remote locations and proper controls can be designed to integrate the high level of variable generation in the grid. IX.
