  1. Grid Interconnection and Power Quality Assessment of Distributed Resources Farid Katiraei Ph.D. Candidate Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Toronto • Wind Power Generation Symposium • Feb. 20, 2004

  2. Outline • DR connection process • Utility impact assessment • Interconnection requirements • Power quality issues • Case studies: A Hybrid system

  3. Decentralized Power System

  4. Standards and Regulations • “IEEE Std. 1547, for interconnecting Distributed Resources with Electric Power System”, IEEE Standards, July 2003 • CSA Standard CAN3-C235, C325, C107.1 • “MicroPower Connect Interconnection Guideline”, July 2003 • Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC) • Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998 ( sec. 27.1) • Electric Safety Authority (ESA)

  5. DR Connection Process • Step 1: Basic planning - Data collection and Plan development, - Environmental assessment • Step 2: Feasibility study -Utility impact assessment, - Electrical inspection requirements (ESA) • Step 3: Implementation - Detailed design and review, - Basic interfacing equipments, - ESA plan approval • Step 4: Commissioning & Authorization of the connection • Step 5: Operation & Maintenance

  6. Utility Impact Assessment • Power quality assessment • Interconnection requirements • line/equipment upgrades • Grounding • Power flow • System protection modification • Fault currents, re-coordination • Synchronization

  7. Power Quality Issues • Voltage regulation (Load dependent) • Voltage fluctuation (not greater than 5%) • Flicker (No objectionable flicker) • Voltage Unbalance • Harmonic injection (TDD,THD < 5%) • DC injection (< 0.5% of In) • Reactive power requirements (Preferred pf. : 0.9 lag  0.95 lead) • Surge withstand performance ( up to 220% of the rated voltage)

  8. Study system • Impact assessments of a Hybrid system: DG1: 2 MVA gas-fired diesel generator DG2: 2.5 MVA electronically-interfaced DG3: 1.5 MW wind turbine (Rotor diameter 76m, Wind speed: 5-25 m/s, Hub height: 64m) Load demand: Sensitive load, Industrial/Residential load • Case I: Wind turbine start up • Scenario 1: Grid interconnected system • Scenario 2: Stand-alone system • Case II: Short circuit analysis • Line-Ground fault on the Utility side, Fault clearing

  9. Wind turbine start up • Direct connected generators: • Speeding up with the wind, connection at 85% of synchronous speed • Soft starter, limit start up current • Second winding (two speed turbines) • Electronically interfaced: • Synchronization • Wind farm: • Sequential start up

  10. I-1: Grid Connected System • Bus voltages • - Startup @ t=2.0 s

  11. I-1: Grid Connected System • Power variation • - Startup @ t=2.0 s

  12. I-2: Stand-alone System • Bus voltages • - Startup @ t=2.0 s

  13. I-2: Stand- alone System • Power variation • - Startup @ t=2.0 s

  14. Case II: Fault Analysis • Voltage fluctuation • - Fault @ t=0.5 s • - Clear @ • t=0.58 s

  15. Case II: Fault Analysis • Freq. variation • -Fault @ t=0.5 s • -Clear @ • t=0.58 s • -Reconnect • @ t=1.08s

  16. Conclusion • Comprehensive study of the system • Steady-state analysis • Dynamic Analysis • Appling uniform interconnection Standards
