Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Impacts on the Performance of Special

Protection Schemes (SPS)


Presence of DG increases the uncertainty of load and generation balance during extreme contingencies.

In order to compensate for this uncertainty, many SPSs are designed with pessimistic assumptions and consequently overreact.

For example, too much load could be shed in a specific network situation or disturbance.


Motivation of Research


Introduction DER Impact on Performance of SPS SPS and Uncertainties of DERs Simulation Results Remedial Actions Conclusion


Presentation Outline


Power System protection can be divided as: 1. Equipment protection

2. System protection(SPS=System Protection Scheme)

SPS are protections which operate on selected rare contingencies usually outside the design range of the system and equipments.

SPS operates upon the detection of extreme contingencies.


Introduction


Renewable energy resources have an uncertain generation nature.

If real-time data of the DERs are not available to the SPS; its reaction is not optimized.

Impact of the DERs uncertainty on the SPS operation depends on its complexity.

Real time SPSs have a more optimized reaction because they are based on the knowledge of the actual network conditions.

SPS performance for different wind farm generation in response to a disturbance


Development of a communication infrastructure in order to have enough data of DERs applicable in the SPS decision taking, i.e., transformation of conventional SPS into smart SPS.

Another solution could be implementation of pre-prepared wind/sunshine patterns into the SPS reaction plan.


Remedial Actions


The impact of DERs on the conventionally designed SPS is investigated.

It is shown that the uncertainty embedded in the nature of renewable resources such as wind and sunshine can influence the performance of SPS.


Conclusion


Generally, it is assumed that the DERs are operating at their rated power output, so if real-time data from these sources are not available, then the SPS action to shed generation/load to alleviate overloading of transmission lines is overated.


Conclusion…


In order to improve the knowledge on system security, a statistical approach can be defined to allow engineers to study the behavior of power systems taking into account many uncertainties that influence the results.
