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. ...
This paper examines the small-signal stability impacts of high penetrations of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbines on power systems. It provides a basic overview of small-signal stability concepts and then ...
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 ...
The electricity system of Ireland is unique as it has no synchronous connections to other
systems, while the existing non-synchronous connection provides limited flexibility.
When coupled with a target of 40% electricity ...
This study examines the 2013 Irish electricity network
and its ability to accommodate large levels of wind generation
while maintaining appropriate voltage levels across the
system. The network provides a fully functional ...
High penetrations of wind power on distribution networks
are causing voltage rise on many networks. This voltage
rise is limiting the permissible penetration levels of wind.
Numerous active control schemes have been ...
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 ...
The paper describes the methodology that has been developed for Transmission System Operators (TSOs) of Republic of Ireland, Eirgrid, and Northern Ireland, SONI the
TSO in Northern Ireland, to study the effects of advanced ...
