Connection Study of Wind Power Plant Alibunar (42MW) to the Transmission Network of Serbia

client: Elektromreza Srbije – EMS (Serbia)

type: Study (Generation, Transmission, Power Quality,  Renewable)

finishing date: September 2015

team: Milan Ivanovic - Project Leader, M. Stojanovic, M. Vukovic and N. Jovic - Consultants

Main objective of the study is to analyse compliance of the wind turbinese Senvion MM100  - 2MW to the Serbian grid code, for the point of common coupling suggested by the Investor. In order to examine the compliance of the wind power plant to the Serbian grid code, following activities have been performed:

  • Integration of simulation model of WPP Alibunar into regional SEE dynamic model in software PSSE and DIgSILENT
  • Load flow analyses – network element loadings, security N-1 assesment, power losses, voltage and reactive power control
  • 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 electrical faults)
  • Mid-term stability - Stability assessment after large disturbances in the power system of Serbia
  • Short-term and long-term voltage stability assessment
  • Small signal stability assessment
  • Assessment of power quality indices in connection point – Voltage flickers (normal and switching operation), harmonic distortion
  • EMT simulations - Switching transient overvoltage assessment.
