A case study on the validation of renewable energy grid code compliance for a large-scale wind power plant grid-connected mode of operation in real-time simulation

Abstract

In this study, the grid-connected mode of operation was evaluated, considering the renewable energy grid codes. First, the renewable energy grid code specifications have been revisited, focusing mainly on large-scale renewable power plants. An interconnected system has been developed by combining the traditional electrical power grid with a large-scale wind power plant. The modeling method used in this study and how the evaluation has been conducted can be used for other power system evaluation studies. The results obtained from the interconnected system show a significant improvement in substation (or busbar) voltages.
