1. Introduction to RE integration in power systems. Introduction of definitions of power systems, transmission and distribution systems, RES technologies, integration of renewable energy in power systems, DG, RES installed capacity and production. 2. Problem of RE integration in transmission systems. European outlook. Modelling of RES and algorithms for investigating the problem of renewable energy integration. Technical problems related to RE integration in power systems. Needs and requirements for reserves. Operation of power systems with high RES penetration. 3. Problem of DG integration in the distribution systems. European outlook. Integration of DGs and technical impacts on the distribution grids. Network codes for electricity distribution – conditions for connection of DGs. Load flow and voltage analyses under different generation and consumption scenarios. Analyses of distribution grid operation considering 24 hour typical generation and load curves. 4. RE integration in electricity markets. RES generation as a possible flexibility resource. |
