Description
Summary:This study examines the problems caused by intermittent renewable energy sources, especially wind farms, and suggests a different solar energy penetration strategy to improve their loading capacity. The study uses real-time data from a wind farm in Jhampir, Pakistan, to analyse and assess various aspects of grid stations connected to wind farms. Electrical Transient Analyzer Program is used to validate the results by linking these with actual grid system. The article focuses on creating a model for a grid connected to a wind farm and the simulation of outcomes following capacity expansion, with the installation of an autotransformer. The original capacity of the wind farm was 750 MW, which was increased to 1,250 MW, i.e., 1.66 times the actual capability. Furthermore, this capacity was further enhanced to 1,540 MW, which becomes 1.23 times the previous capacity by the penetration of a photovoltaic power plant.
