Study WF Inval MEPSO

client: AD MEPSO (Macedonia)

type: Study  (Renewable, Transmission, Generation)

finishing date: December 2013

team: Nebojsa Jovic - Project Leader, M. Vukovic - Consultant, M. Stojkovic

Within this study, dynamic stability and power quality assessment were performed in order to check compatibility of WPP Inval in the terms of Macedonian Grid Code requirements. The following analyses have been performed:

  • Technical characteristics of wind generator units in WPP Inval
  • Integration of simulation model of WPP Inval into regional SEE dynamic model in PSSE and DIgSILENT
  • Transient stability – Verification of the wind generator fault ride through capability through various voltage dip simulations (close and remote faults)
  • Wind turbulence and wind gust assessment
  • Mid-term stability – Stability assessment after large disturbances in the Macedonian power system
  • 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.
