Description
Summary:This paper is introducing a new methodology for the dynamic integration of dispersed storage and generation devices into the electric utility distribution network operations. The dispersed source is viewed as an active device contributing towards the regulation of real and reactive power flows while improving the stability of the power system. Conceptual means are developed for an effective DSG-utility grid interface. Computer models of appropriate interconnection and control equipment are used in simulation studies to test the effectiveness of control strategies and optimize design parameters. Simulation results indicate that load frequency control and voltage regulation may be effectively accomplished with dispersed generators within a fraction of the time required for conventional regulating units. Appropriate modulation and conditioning of the DSG-output power can assist in damping out undesirable power oscillations. Implementation of the proposed policies may result in reduced load following requirements for conventional power generating units, increase the value and acceptability of new energy technologies, and improve power quality and stability of the interconnected system.
