September 2008 - October 2009

Funding entity Acciona Energía S.A.

The goal is the design, implementation and control of pilot actions to control the active and reactive power generated by a wind generating park in accordance with the criteria of the System Operator to any conventional generating plant.
Additionally, the IIT will supply Acciona Energia with technical support in all technical aspects in relation with the integration of the eolic wind energy into the grid power system.

Research topics:
• *Steady-state: load flows, analysis of power system constraints, optimal load flows, voltage control ancilliary service,short-circuits, protections in transmission and ditribution networks
• *Automatic Generation Control: design and tuning of AGC regulators, identification of power plant models, primary and secondary regulation ancilliary services,
• *Stability: large disturbance stability, tuning of frequency loadshedding schemes, excitation control, small disturbance stability, tuning of power system stabilizers, identification of AVR and governor models
