Wind Power in Cascade SImulation (Security Analysis)

What is it about?

The integration of wind power plants at large scale has an impact on the reliability, stability and security of power systems. Recent events such as the blackout of Australia in 2016, a power system with large participation of wind generation, has demonstrated the need for appropriate tools to simulate and assess the impacts of wind energy on the security of power systems.

Why is it important?

This paper proposes the inclusion of wind power plants in the simulation and analysis of cascading phenomena in the power system, to assess the impact of the high penetration of wind generation in the security assessment of the power system based on the well-known Manchester model. This paper proposes a model of wind power plants based on the scheme of connection to the transmission system to determine the response of a wind farm when a disturbance occurs in the power system and thus obtain a behavior that resembles a situation real.
