Introduction
Project background
Solar resource metrics
Characterization of power output fluctuations
Impact on the system stability
Fault-Ride Through
Part of the IRENA Islands Initiative project to assist islands in the Pacific
Region with their planning for renewable energy integration, especially the
grid stability assessment and identification of specific technology solutions
Objectives
Develop a methodology of assessing the impact of different levels of
variable generation on power quality (focus on frequency stability)
Set up a simulation model to assess the dynamic stability of the system
(pilot project: the system of Palau island has been chosen)
Identify the amount of renewable generation that the system can
accommodate without affecting the power quality
Identify specific technology solutions (like for instance storage) where
required
Next steps:
Validation of dynamic data
Collection and verification of missing data:
Load shedding scheme (incl. tripping times)
Contingency reserve
Voltage/Frequency dependency of loads
Investigate voltage stability and transient stability (contingent on
receiving the necessary dynamic data)
Delivery of the study report including results, conclusions and
recommendations.
Characterization of PV power
output fluctuations
Power fluctuations for four ramp rate intervals of a 1MW PV plant (at STC) and
the existing PV plants in Palau (installed capacity 770 kW)
