Advanced Wind Generator Controls: Meeting the Evolving Grid Interconnection Requirements

Abstract

Reliable power system operation requires the continuous, instantaneous balance of supply and demand. Traditionally, power system planners have been familiar with a limited, well-understood amount of variability and uncertainty in demand and conventional generation. The large-scale integration of variable generation, such as wind power, gives rise to new challenges, requiring grid planners and operators to modify their traditional activities to maintain a secure, reliable operation of the power system.
