Analysis of synthetic inertia using wind turbines for frequency stability in power systems
(2022) In CODEN:LUTEDX/TEIE EIEL05 20221Industrial Electrical Engineering and Automation
- Abstract
- With the large expansion of renewable energy sources such as wind- and solar,
the stability and quality of electrical power can be affected. The transition
towards large-scale wind power offers many opportunities to maintain stability
by using power converters to create synthetic inertia. At request of Sweco
Energy, this thesis shows the effect and importance of synthetic inertia used in
wind power to maintain a stable frequency. The importance of stability in power
systems was proved by creating a simulation model in DIgSILENT
PowerFactory© where synthetic inertia played an important role in decreasing
frequency deviations from disturbances in the power system. The simulation
gives a representation of how synthetic inertia can... (More) - With the large expansion of renewable energy sources such as wind- and solar,

gives a representation of how synthetic inertia can affect real life power systems
and how the future of green power sources come with more solutions than
issues. Society is forever changing with large environmental goals to provide a
brighter tomorrow for the coming generations, and the hope of this thesis is to
come even closer to reaching these goals. (Less)
