support@essaywritingexpert.orgProject Aim:
Objective:
• To analyse the operation of current high voltage grids with different power system
devices and investigate stability
• To analyse the impact of distributed energy resources (DERs) integrations on the
performance of the high voltage power grid
• To develop controllers to improve the performance of power systems
You will do a project in a group, but you will submit your portfolio, and final oral presentation individually. You will submit proposal and final demonstration in group. You will design a project and pose a question/problem hypothesis. The short description of the project is given below:
Description:
Modern power systems have grown larger and more geographically expansive with many interconnections between neighbouring systems. Conventional generation capacity is being replaced continuously by renewable generator (RG) units in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. RG plants are highly distributed and strongly dependant on changing weather conditions. Mechanical input energy for RG units cannot be directly controlled in the way as can for fossil fuelled generation plants. Significantly increasing the capacity from renewable energy requires a revision of the way power systems are designed, operated and controlled in order to accommodate these variable sources. Therefore, a thorough power flow and voltage stability analyses are required to ensure the reliability of power systems. Also, it is required to design and implement controllers to ensure desired performance from power system under a wide range of operating conditions.
The main objective of this project to analyse the power flow, stability and then design controllers to improve its performance. Firstly, you will design and analyse the power flow of power systems under different operating condition. Secondly you will simulate and analyse the stability of power systems during normal and faulted conditions. Finally, you will design a controller to mitigate their adverse impacts and enhance the stability limit. You will analyse the response of voltage, power and frequency.
Instructions:
You have the freedom to choose your own topic, with the following requirement.
• The project should be focused on power system analysis and design.
• The project should be at the transmission level as this subject mainly studies the
transmission-level topics.
• The project should be based on a complete power system, including generator,
transmission line, and load. This system should be a mesh system including at least 3
generators, 3 buses, and loads.
• Load flow is essential. Besides Load flow, the project should cover at least other 3
topics in the subject.
• Software: PowerWorld or PSSE
Example of projects (These topics have been selected based on industry consultations):
(i) Impact of renewable generation integrations on the performance of power systems
