Study on Requirement of Control and Stability with Renewable Energy Generation Grid Integration

Abstract

Renewable energy generation has different static and transient characteristics than traditional synchronous power plants. The connection of renewable energy to the grid will have varying degrees of impact on the voltage stability of the local power grid. In a power grid with large renewable energy penetration, in addition to the voltage stability problem, renewable energy integration changes the original power flow distribution, line transmission power and inertia of the entire system, the power system transient stability has undergone tremendous changes. Renewable energy power generation technology and grid-connected scale are developing rapidly. The technical requirements for renewable energy and the research on grid-connected technology need to be continuously deepened and improved. However, some large-scale renewable energy off-grid accidents in recent years have brought serious threats to the security and stability of power systems, and have also raised higher research requirements for the stability of large-scale renewable energy grid-connected. This paper provides an introduction about the control and stability of renewable energy grid integration on both technologies and standardization aspects, and tries to explore potential the trend in active power and frequency control, reactive power and voltage control, security and stability control respectively caused by the integration of RE generation into power systems.
