The goal for solving the expansion planning (EP) problem in electrical systems involves the search for the optimal allocation of output power among available generators to serve the system load in a given time horizon. Currently, environmental aspects and the continuing search for alternative energy sources, push for the integration of wind power generators in the EP problem. In order to fulfill this new requirement, this paper developes a long-term energetic analysis for expansion planning under high wind power penetration scenarios in Colombia and its effect in neighboring countries. The simulations were developed using SDDP ™ software package, a tool based in stochastic dual dynamic programming technique for hydrothermal-wind least-cost dispatch.
This work constitutes the second part of a study that aims to analyze the technical and economic implications of the penetration of wind power in the Colombian Interconnected System (SIN). In the previous part of the work, steady state studies were carried out (loading at transmission corridors, short circuit and the most important contingencies were applied). A summary with the main problems encountered and their respective solutions were proposed. In this second part, the same group of wind farms and time horizon were employed, while dynamic models were fit to ensure the proper operation of controls against the contingences. Using the software DigSilent™, studies of stability (with and without controls), power quality (flicker analysis), and voltage ride through capability (VRT) were addressed. Finally, technical recommendations and further work are presented.
The control of mechanical power in wind turbogenerators involves the participation of many subsystems. One of them is related to pitch mechanism, which usually employs conventional PI strategies. This paper presents an alternative for estimating the parameters of this PI controller, using Fuzzy Logic (FL). Matlab-Simulink™ software was used in order to verify the performance of the FL-based parameter estimator in some general cases.
