This paper discusses the connection policies adopted to facilitate the large number of wind farms seeking access to the Irish power system. A key feature is a grouped connection offer process that provides certainty for ...
The penetration of Distributed Generation (DG) is increasing on distribution networks
across the world. Non-firm access to the network is now being proposed as a cost effective way to facilitate DG. However, concerns remain ...
Distributed Generation (DG) is increasing in penetration on power systems across the world. In rural areas, voltage rise limits the permissible penetration levels of DG. Another increasingly important issue is the impact ...
The introduction of distributed generation (DG) onto distribution networks has a significant effect on losses. This effect cannot be characterised as detrimental or beneficial but is dependent on the allocation of DG on ...
The distributed generation (DG) plant mix connected to any network section has a considerable impact on the total amount of DG energy exported and on the amount of losses
incurred on the network. A new method for the ...
Due to rising fossil fuel and electricity prices and the
overall need to reduce carbon emissions, there is a growing
interest in the utilisation of micro-generation amongst
electricity consumers and governments alike. ...
As the penetration of variable renewable generation increases in power systems worldwide, planning for the effects of variability will become more important. Traditional capacity adequacy planning techniques have been ...
At times of high generation levels from distributed generators (DGs), there may be a paucity of conventional generators still synchronised to the transmission system. These synchronous machines have traditionally been the ...
Long-term power system planning is beset by a
trade-off between detail and scope: The chosen approach usually lies somewhere between modeling a great many generation
portfolios coarsely and very few in a more detailed ...
Wind power generation is the fastest growing renewable technology worldwide with large on- and off-shore wind farms being connected to the transmission networks. A significant share of it is, however, still being deployed ...
