Assignment topics
The aim of this assignment is to consolidate the concepts learnt in the lectures on grid operation and planning issues for renewable integration and apply knowledge to realistic case studies, addressingparticular issues for the New Zealandpower system context. Wind and solar power grid integration have been chosen for this year, so total of 2 sub-topicsneed to be attempted:
1. Choose ANY 1 sub-topic (from a, b) below to analyse wind integration into transmission networks.
a. Impact of wind power variability on transmission grid security and reliability, such as:
i. wind farm for grid frequency control; or
ii. operational reserve requirements for variable wind generation.
b. Wind farm protection and coordination requirements for system operation, such as:
i. wind farm reactive power management; or
ii. wind farm voltage support; or
iii. wind farm voltage stability.
2. Choose ANY 1 sub-topic (from a, b) below to study solar integration into distribution networks.
a. Impact of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation on distribution network protection and management, such as:
i. power flow direction change; or
ii. protection coordination change.
b. Impact of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation variability on distribution network:
i. voltage management; or
ii. network flow control; or
iii. distributed storage requirements.
