Real time demonstration test and evaluation of Bornholm electricity network with high wind power penetration
If the overall energy policy targets shall be achieved there is a basic need for increased integration and coordination of renewable energy production facilities into the electric power system. More than doubling of the wind power penetration is expected in the Danish electric power system in 2020.
Current plans for development and interconnection of wind power pose major engineering and policy challenges thus raising some critical technical concerns. How would it be possible to balancing the wind power and at the same time maintain a reliable and cost-effective system? And what kind of technologies and system solutions are needed to enable a system with high wind power penetration? In this respect, these challenges make Bornholm even more relevant as a test area. This project will undertake and lead technological assessment considering future energy scenarios with very high share of wind power for realization and assessment of renewable energy targets in Denmark, through the following: a) Establishment of measurement system in the Bornholm system for the purpose of accurate system monitoring and data acquisi tion; b) Full-scale demonstration test of Bornholm power system operation with high wind power penetration; c) Development of energy system modeis utilizing Bornholm electricity network; d) Model implementation, analysis and validation of energy model in real time via a RTDS platform; e) Performance and assessment of hardware equipment in real time based on Bornholm platform utilizing RTDS technology; f) Assessment and development of increased wind generating power into Bornholm power system, together with analysis concerning consumer participation through SmartGrid topologies
New technical solutions are needed for integration of high share of wind power and other types of renewable energy sources. Transforming the energy system is a major challenge which requires insight in the operation of the electricity system and the associated mechanisms as well as good possibilities for testing and studying new innovative methods.
This project has analysed and developed technologies which enable increased share of wind energy in the electricity system. This is done through use of data from the island Bormholm and development of an experimental simulation model of the Bornholm electric power system in a real-time simulator in the laboratory at DTU.
The Bornholm power system is a unique facility for studying the future renewable based energy system. The Bornholm power system is part of the Nordic interconnected power system and power market, and it has many of the characteristics of a typical Danish distribution system. With respect to area, electricity demand and population Bornholm corresponds to approx. 1% of Denmark. Peak load is approx. 56 MW. The annual wind power penetration is 33%, and the system can be operated isolated in islanding mode.
