Performance Evaluation of Reverse Power Flow on Electrical Power Network with Wind Energy Source

Article Preview

Abstract:

Renewable energy sources (RES) offer outstanding attributes namely environmental-friendly and reduction in the cost of Grid system. Global power firm have embraced RES in generating electrical energy. RES, notably wind energy lessens electrical power losses on the network, nevertheless, RES incorporation into the network has adverse effect on the entire network. This research bequest critical investigation and comprehensive evaluation of reverse power flow (RPF)due to the outcome of vigorous and increased RES penetration to the Electrical Power Network. Matlab/Simulink Software is employed to carry out critical investigation on eight-bus electrical power network. The Matlab simulation was carried out with and without RES connection to the electric power network. Zones are employed for potent and effective investigation and evaluation of the network. The outcome of evaluation and analysis in sub-networks and the zones were carefully compared. The result show that RPF happens at all levels of electrical power networks, though, the penetration levels are not the same. It was revealed that RPF at the zone directly linked with the RES is higher compared with other zones.
