Abstract
Due to high wind power penetration into power system, synchronous generators may no longer be the dominant generation, which implicitly requires participation of wind power plants (WPPs) in the load-frequency control (LFC). Frequency, a common variable throughout the entire power system, is the key variable for LFC, which causes equal contribution of all distant and nearby WPPs in LFC. Power transfer from distant WPPs to the event location may overload the middle transmission lines leading to cascading failures. This study proposes an online dispatch rescheduling algorithm for WPPs participating in the LFC task to prevent over loading of transmission lines and hence cascading failures following severe frequency contingencies. The WPP dispatch limits are calculated based on line ampacity for each generation unit participating in the LFC task. Numerical simulations carried out in DigSilent PowerFactory on 39 bus IEEE standard test system, demonstrates the efficiency of suggested online dispatch rescheduling technique for keeping the loading rate of transmission lines, bus voltages and system frequency in range.
