Abstract

To assess the dynamic impact of intermittency of rapidly increasing solar photovoltaic generation on the grid, this article presents the modeling and integration of the components that need to be considered, including the solar photovoltaic plant, battery energy storage system, grid-tied interface, and associated control systems. The complexity and accuracy of these models are suitable for evaluating the transient impact on bulk power systems. Of particular interest is the grid inertial response in such situations as different penetration levels of solar generation and fast cloud transient induced solar generation decrease coupled with outages that recurrently occur in the grid, e.g., a generator trip. The impact of such events on the grid frequency responses is investigated using a simplified simulation approach to account for the locational or spatial irradiance variation patterns and cloud movements. Responsive battery energy storage systems are recognized as an effective means to improve the inertial response.
