Preparation for Large Scale Wind Integration in SEE Power System

In this study analyses of large scale wind integration in electric power systems of SEE have been performed. Time horizon are years 2015 and 2020. Following analyses have been performed:

• Collection and review of information from wind integration studies and other relevant studies;
• Collection and review of WPP project data, current regulation practice and rules for connection of WPPs
• Analysis of large scale wind penetration in the electric power systems of SEE for characteristic regimes in 2015 and 2020;
• Load flow analysis
• Voltage profile analysis
• Contingency (n-1) analysis
• Identification of grid constraints and needs for grid reinforcements
• Calculation of estimated balancing power needs and availability.

The main result of the study is utilization of appropriate best practice wind integration standards identified to develop a reference document for use by SECI participants.

In addition, the goal is to detect grid constraints and needs for reinforcements as well as to assess the future needs of power system regulation with respect to the new elements in power system.
