Effects of Solar and Wind Power Energy Sources Integration on Frequency Dynamics in Microgrid

The need for electricity that continues to increase requires increasing electricity generation capacity and building comparable transmission and distribution systems and a smarter system for dealing with increasingly complex forms of electricity production and consumption. Renewable energy, such as solar and wind, are ones of the solutions to increase electricity generation capacity but has problems with its intermittent and other grid related problems, which can be solved by using Power Electronic Interfaces (PEIs), i.e., Battery Energy Storage Sytems or converter of renewable energy sources (RES), to keep the quality and stability of the power system. However, the increasing penetration rate of RES, which gather several different types of energy sources and generations system, in an electrical power system will make need a more complex system control. Objective of this research was to study the effects of RES integration on frequency dynamics in microgrid to further develop and increase its stability and quality by modeling and simulation using MATLAB/Simulink software.
