Abstract-Wind power is going through a very rapid development. It is the fastest growing power source in the world, the technology is being developed rapidly and wind power is supplying significant shares of the energy in large regions. The integration of wind power in the power system is now an issue in order to optimize the utilization of the resource and in order to continue the high rate of installation of wind generating capacity, which is necessary in order to achieve the goals of sustainability and security of supply. This paper presents the main technical challenges that are associated with the integration of wind power into power systems. These challenges include effects of wind power on the power system, the power system operating cost, power quality, power imbalances, power system dynamics, and impacts on transmission planning. In addition, the paper presents the technology and expectations of wind forecasting as well as cases where wind power curtailment could arise. Future research directions for a better understanding of the factors influencing the increased integration of wind power into power systems are also provided.Index Terms-Grid integration, power imbalances, power quality, power system dynamics, power system operating costs, power system operation, transmission planning, wind forecasting, wind power, wind power curtailment.

“…According to the present scheduling criteria, Penghu treats wind turbine generation as a negative load. For low wind power penetration, the scheduling criteria do not substantially influence system operation [12,13], and therefore, the criteria remain applicable. According to the scheduling criteria in which the net load is used to determine the number of operating diesel generators, fewer generators are required during off-peak load periods (35 MW) when wind power penetration is relatively high; therefore, these criteria is likely to underestimate the spinning reserve (SR) or the number of operating diesel generators required by the system [14].…”

Abstract:The abundant wind resources in the Penghu area, where the capacity factor of wind turbines can reach 45%, have inspired authorities to build more wind turbines in a diesel-based power system. However, because the wind turbine output is unstable, high wind power penetration in the system may relatively affect the power quality (voltage and frequency) and reliability of the system. Previous studies have suggested that the optimal penetration level for wind power generation under the present dispatching criteria in Penghu is 26.3%. The present study suggests that the criteria for current unit scheduling should be modified; in particular, the spinning reserve (SR) capacity of the diesel engines should be increased without affecting the reliability and power quality of the power system. Such an increase could help avoid the construction of high-cost energy storage systems.

“…However, the wind power is intermittent and the uncertainty of the wind power can have many adverse effects on the economical operation of power systems, possibly endanger the safe operation of power systems [5,6]. Thus, the scales of wind power systems integrated into the grid are restricted at present, and addressing the uncertainty of the wind power and its integration remains a problem.…”

Integrating a battery energy storage system (ESS) with a large wind farm can smooth the intermittent power obtained from the wind farm, but the smoothing function will not be achieved if multiple ESSs are used to smooth the fluctuations in individual wind power plants in a distributed pattern. Therefore, this study focuses on the development of a control strategy to optimize the use of multiple ESSs to accelerate the adoption of wind energy resources. This paper proposes a quasi-automated generation control (QAGC) strategy to coordinate multiple ESSs, which responds to the grid dispatch demand rather than smoothing out the intermittent power from individual wind farms. The aims of QAGC are to ensure that multiple ESSs provide a service that is as balanced as possible, so more wind power systems at various scales can be accepted by the grid, as well maximizing the low-carbon benefits of ESSs. The effectiveness of QAGC is demonstrated by using data from an actual gigawatt scale cluster of wind plants.
