1 Harnessing Renewables in Power System Restoration Dr. Wei Sun, and Amir Golshani Assistant Professor, EECS Dept. University of Central Florida (South Dakota State University) Panel: Cascading Failures: Advanced Methodologies, Restoration and Industry Perspectives 205 IEEE PES General Meeting, Denver, July 28, 205

2 2 Resilient Smart Grid Allows power disturbances to be instantly detected and handled with minimal customer impact. Real-time monitoring and reaction using high performance IT infrastructure: System to constantly tune itself to an optimal state SCADA to PMU (2 4 times/sec to times/sec) Rapid isolation and restoration without human intervention: Isolate parts of the network that experience failure from the rest of the system. Enables a more rapid restoration to reduce outage time.

3 3 Power System Restoration Developed Power System Restoration strategy (PSERC, EPRI projects): Partitioning power grid into islands Start up black start units Establish transmission lines Crank non-black start units Serving Loads Synchronize restored islands Connect with neighboring systems

14 4 Offshore Wind Farms Large offshore wind farms can be used as BSUs in restoration Supply energy and provide ancillary services, with voltage control and frequency regulation. VSC-HVDC Technology Can be connected to the weak power network and control the voltage and frequency Black start capability Connection to the neighboring grid, and provide enough inertia for self-healing process Connection to the onshore/offshore wind farm, and provide negligible inertia

15 5 Self-healing Process with HVDC Communication-based Strategy Perceive the change of the onshore grid frequency with the proposed inertia support control strategy. Real-time reliable communication links enable remote offshore wind farms to participate in primary frequency control. Communication-less Strategy The relationship between the WF-VSC output frequency and the onshore grid frequency is based on the change of the DC voltage. Using droop characteristics on both the onshore and offshore converters, and frequency variation on the offshore side is proportional to that on the onshore side. On-going collaboration with Dr. Nilanjan Chaudhuri at NDSU.

16 6 Conclusions Adaptive restoration tool is designed to introduce flexible restoration strategies that can be updated and guarantee power system security. Using wind farm as a BSU necessitate to activate inertial and droop control. Wind-PSH unit can mitigate wind variability and uncertainty during the self-healing process. Offshore-wind farm together with VSC-HVDC can be used to start up power system as sources after blackouts.
