Impact of Increased RES Generation on Power Systems Dynamic Performance

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the impact of high wind power and photovoltaics penetration on the dynamic behavior of an island power system like one operates in Crete is investigated. Several simulations were performed leading to the fact that it is possible to achieve higher level of renewable energy sources penetration without significant dynamic security problems, if power units spinning reserve exists and the corresponding control systems have a sufficiently fast response.
