Connection Study of Wind Power Plant Mozura to the Transmission Network of Montenegro

client: CGES (Montenegro)

type: Study

finishing date: November 2016

team: Milan Stojanovic – Project manager, M. Vukovic – Consultant, D. Todorovic

Main objective of the study was to analyse compliance of WPP Mozura (46MW) selected wind turbines with the Montenegrin Grid Code, at selected point of common coupling suggested by the Investor. In order examine compliance of the wind power plant with Grid Code requirements, following activities have been performed:

  • Integration of simulation model of WPP Mozura into regional SEE dynamic model in software PSSE and DIgSILENT
  • Load flow analyses – network element loadings, security N-1 assessment, power losses calculation, voltage and reactive power control possibility assessment at PCC
  • Short circuit contribution assessment
  • Transient stability – Checking the capability of wind generators to maintain stability and provide the required voltage support in cases of simulated voltage dips in the network (caused by close and remote faults)
  • Mid-term stability - Stability assessment after large disturbances in the power system of Montenegro
  • Small signal stability assessment
  • Assessment of power quality indices at PCC – Flickers (normal and switching operation) and harmonic distortion assessment.
