Electromechanical Transient Analysis on Power Systems with Presence of Renewable Sources Considering the Use of Energy Storage Systems
Renewable energy sources have reached increasingly high levels of penetration into the electrical system, with emphasis on wind and solar photovoltaics. There are several advantages, however, its stochastic characteristic imposes great uncertainties related to the operation, stability and reliability of the system. When inserted in a large proportion, alternative sources alter the pattern of network behavior both on a permanent basis and when disturbances occur. Thus, as the level of penetration of these sources grows, new efforts become necessary to keep the system operating within the standard limits. In view of the many alternatives proposed to favor the orderly growth of alternative sources, the energy storage system is of great importance because it acts to mitigate its adverse impacts and contributes to the stabilization of the system. In this context, the present dissertation aimed to carry out a stability study through the analysis of electromechanical transients in a transmission system with high penetration of wind and solar generation, and also an energy storage with batteries as an alternative to mitigate impacts of power fluctuations. at the solar plant. The study was developed from computational modeling considering time domain simulations with the Matlab® & Simulink® software where different case studies made it possible to investigate the system's behavior both in normal operation and in disturbance situations. The results made it possible to evaluate the robustness and stability capacity of the electrical network and also the performance of the storage system in dampening the impacts of renewable generation in the transmission network.
