Security constrained economic dispatch with VSC-HVDC connected wind farms

Le résumé fourni par la source

The rise in wind power in electrical networks creates complex challenges for transmission system operators (TSOs), particularly regarding real-time operation. TSOs rely on grid codes to enforce wind farm (WF) participation in primary frequency control (PFC), like conventional plants. This paper addresses this need by proposing a security constrained economic dispatch (SCED) model with VSC-HVDC connected WFs based on variable speed wind generators. A key differentiator from existing models is the explicit calculation of the spinning reserve and the droop parameter of the WFs. This method uses the deloading schemes related to blade pitch angle and mechanical rotor speed to ensure compliance with grid codes related to PFC. We show that the wind speed and these deloading schemes significantly impact the WF droop parameter. For efficient studies, linear shift factors are used to model the transmission grid and the VSC-HVDC connected WFs. The performance of the SCED model was assessed using two standard test systems that incorporate WFs connected by VSC-HVDC lines. Its effectiveness was confirmed by comparing it with the security constrained optimal power flow (SCOPF). The results showed agreement between both models, with differences less than 3% and with the SCED saving about 70% of the computing time.
