Connection study of Wind Power Plant Mozura (46MW) to the transmission network of Montenegro
client: CGES (Montenegro)
type: Study (Renewable, Transmission, Generation)
finishing date: October 2011 (January 2012)
team: N. Jovic - Project Leader, M. Vukovic and N. Rusanov - Consultants, M. Stojkovic, T. Martinovic
The main task of the connection study is to analyze all possible connection variants and to determine optimal point of common coupling (PCC) between the WPP Mozura and transmission network, taking into account valid transmission network development plan and grid connection code of Montenegro. Optimal PCC analyses have been performed in accordance with the principle to fit the PCC as much as possible into the valid transmission network development plan in order to minimize the total investment costs of the connection infrastructure.
Compatibility of WPP Mozura connection terms with the Montenegrin grid code rules has been checked according to the following analyses and corresponding measures has been defined in the case of non-compliance:
- Load flow analyses – network element loadings, security N-1 assessment, power losses, voltage stability and reactive power control
- Short circuit analyses
- Voltage flickers emission analyses (power quality)
- Impact of intermittent WPP Mozura production on EPS of Montenegro (secondary and tertiary reserve)
- Dynamic stability – fault ride through capability, mid-term stability assessment and small signal stability analyses.
