Change in operation of electrical network due to Integration of Renewable New structure of a power system with renewable energy units Power plant Power system Wind energy can create bottlenecks! kv kv Load flow bi-directional: from and to power plants kv > 1 kv Fuel cell H 2 O2 Other renewable energy sources Micro- turbinies = Loads Pij CHP Ladge-scale windplants Smole-scale windplants PV-Facilities = Battery = 6/28

7 Topic 1: Investigation of grid operation concerning integration of wind parks Calculation of value and direction of load flow for active and reactive power Source: Project for a French Island Important: 1. Load flow can change directions of active and reactive power. 2. Some equipment will become additional load till bottlenecks. 7/28

8 Topic 1: Investigation of grid operation concerning integration of wind parks Calculation of short-circuit power, current, angles etc. Important: A feed-in of wind power creates additional short-circuit power at all points of grid 8/28

9 Topic 1: Investigation of grid operation concerning integration of wind parks Impedance-Frequency-Characteristic Assessment of possibility of resonance Levels of harmonics at start of asynchronous generator Important: In a grid with asynchronous generators and capacitors resonances are possible 9/28

10 Topic 1: Investigation of grid operation concerning integration of wind parks Calculation of voltage variations Grid GP REU CCP Load Connection PCC without REU with REU Important: A feed-in of power creates increase in voltage level 10/28

11 Topic 1: Investigation of grid operation concerning integration of wind parks Calculation of voltage variations due to switching effects Important: A feed-in of power creates voltage variations (dips and jumps) 11/28

12 Topic 1: Investigation of grid operation concerning integration of wind parks Assessment of flicker due to wind turbines capabilities In Egypt:? In French: P lt (max)=0,25 Important: A feed-in of power creates a flicker 12/28

13 Topic 2: Planning of interconnection of wind parks into electrical networks Offshore wind parks New overhead lines Onshore wind parks Important: A feed-in of power needs a reinforcement of power transmission systems 13/28

14 Topic 2: Planning of interconnection of wind parks into electrical networks Example: Interconnection of Offshore wind parks in North Sea into electrical networks of Germany See map: Design of network: B. Valov Problem: 24 wind parks can be interconnected with up to 157 cables. Therefore it is necessary to lay about 471 cables on sea. (157 cable systems x 3 single phase cable)! 14/28

15 Topic 2: Planning of interconnection of wind parks into electrical networks Example: Interconnection of Offshore wind parks in North Sea into electrical networks of Germany Wind farms Multimedia Gas Petrol See map: Graphic of grid: B. Valov Important: 1. The possible errors in the planning of future Offshore wind parks are expansive (Cost of each project 1-10 Mrd. ). 2. To correct them later can be more expensive! 15/28

16 Topic 2: Planning of interconnection of wind parks into electrical networks Proposal from Kassel: Instead of about 24 - only 5 sea cable routes Problem solutions 471sea cables are necessary Result ov investigations instead of ca. 471 only 177 sea cables are necessary! (59 cable systems x 3 single phase cable) 177 sea cables (only) 16/28

24 4. Some ideas about integration of wind energy in Egypt Sources: 1. Egypt installed 30 MW (0,2%?) of wind energy on the Red Sea coastline about 250 km south of Cairo. 2. DEWI-Magazin, Aug. 2007: Installed / saled 85 WTG. 3. Article Wind Atlas for Egypt installed 145 MW (1% electrocity consumption) MW in 2010 (3%) and 2750 MW in 2020 (6%) Onshore wind parks and wind speed in Egypt Quelle: Wind Atlas for Egypt. Niels G. Mortensen1, Usama Said Said2 and Jake Badger1, 1Risø National Laboratory, Roskilde, Denmark 2New and Renewable Energy Authority, Cairo, Egypt 24/28

26 4. Some ideas about integration of wind energy in Egypt Similarities of problems of grid integration of wind energy between Germany and Egypt Export-Import Export-Import L= ca km 380 kv power transmission system? Asuan hydro power plant 2,1 GW (15%) 1. Transmission system is loaded due to Export Import - Energy transfer, because Egypt is located between many countries.. 2. Necessity for energy transport over long distance -> bottlenecks. 26/28

27 4. Some ideas about integration of wind energy in Egypt Outlook in the future offshore wind plants in Germany and in Egypt Energy Export Advantages of cross interconnection in electrical network: - Enhancement of grid stability, security etc. - None necessity for energy transport over long distance (Sinai peninsula is a consumer for wind- and hydro power energy) - More flexibility in controlling of load flows in power transmission system 27/28
