Modelling and Aggregation of Loads in Flexible Power Networks – Scope and Status of the Work of CIGRE WG C4.605

Abstract

High penetration of renewable energies presents a new challenge for conventional power system. Such penetration of renewables resulted in renewed interest in load modeling which may include small renewable generation as a portion of loads. A new CIGRE working group was established to provide guidance with respect to load modeling of new types of load including renewables using measurement data and historical data. This paper summarizes major results of the work of this WG after two years' activities. Although the deliverables are not fully completed, beneficial recommendations of the load modelling such as selection of load model structure, picking up suitable data, proper approach for deriving load model parameters, requirement of measurement data, etc. are introduced in this paper identifying clearly advantage and disadvantage of various load modelling approaches.
