Download or read book A Method for Evaluating Grid Stability with High Penetrations of Renewable Energy and Energy Storage written by Samuel Caleb Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid growth of electricity generation from variable renewable resources like wind and solar has greatly impacted wholesale energy markets and raised questions about future grid stability. With this paradigm shift, some existing coal, natural gas, and nuclear generators have encountered financial struggles, which has led to widespread retirements and tight capacity margins in some regions. Although this change could lead to reduced carbon emissions, synchronous generators provide some important reliability benefits to the grid that other technologies cannot easily replace. To assess the impact of an energy transition away from synchronous generation (e.g. fossil fuel fired power plants) and towards non-synchronous generation (e.g. wind and solar), future grid stability was investigated in the following three studies: (1) evaluating rotational inertia as a component of grid reliability with high penetrations of variable renewable energy, (2) determining the impact of non-synchronous generation on grid stability and identifying mitigation pathways, and (3) quantifying the regional economic and stability impacts of grid-scale energy storage. First, a method was developed to assess grid stability with increasing penetrations of non-synchronous renewable energy generation to determine when an electric grid might be more vulnerable to frequency contingencies, such as a generator outage. Unit commitment and dispatch modeling was used to quantify system inertia, an established proxy for grid stability. A case study of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas grid was used to illustrate the method. Results from the modeled scenarios showed that the Texas grid is resilient to major grid changes, even with relatively high penetrations (~30% of annual energy generation compared to 19% in 2018) of renewable energy. However, retiring nuclear power plants and private-use networks in the model led to unstable inertia levels in our results. When the system inertia was constrained to meet a minimum threshold in our model, multiple coal and natural gas combined-cycle plants were dispatched at part-load or at their minimum operating level to maintain stable system inertia levels. This behavior is expected to expand with higher renewable energy penetrations and could occur on other electric grids that are reliant on synchronous generators for inertia support. A method was also developed for assessing the impacts of stability support from inverter-connected resources. In this analysis, a fully disaggregated, inertia-constrained unit commitment and dispatch model was used to study the stability of future grid scenarios with high penetrations of non-synchronous renewable energy generation. As before, the Texas grid (the Electric Reliability Council of Texas – ERCOT) was used as a test case and instances when the system inertia fell below 100 GW·s (the grid's current minimum level) were found, starting at an annual renewable energy penetration (including both synchronous and non-synchronous renewable resources) of ~30% in our model. At an ~88% renewable energy penetration, the average system inertia level also fell to 100 GW·s. When the modeled critical inertia limit was reduced to 80 GW·s, no critical inertia hours occurred for renewable energy penetrations up to 93% of annual energy. The critical inertia limit could drop to 60 GW·s if the largest generators in ERCOT (two co-located nuclear plants) were retired, but this had the same effect as reducing the limit to 80 GW·s and keeping these generators online, since the nuclear plants contribute a large portion of the grid's system inertia. Emissions also increased by ~25% in the modeled scenarios where these nuclear plants were retired. If the critical inertia limit was kept the same (100 GW·s), adding 525 MW of fast frequency response from wind, solar, and energy storage could reduce the number of critical inertia hours by 86% with a response time of 15 cycles. Therefore, while the transition to a grid with mostly non-synchronous energy generation should be handled with care, many feasible pathways for integrating inverter-connected technologies and maintaining a stable grid exist. Building on the prior two methods, a third method was developed to evaluate the impact of energy storage systems on grid stability and system cost. While many grid-scale energy storage projects have been built and several have been announced, energy storage is costly and could negatively impact grid stability if systems are connected non-synchronously. Three different energy storage technologies with varying durations, ramp rates, and costs were modeled using a linearized dispatch model with discrete transmission zones and sub-hourly intervals (i.e. 15 minutes). Small penetrations of these technologies were modeled in a grid dominated by non-synchronous generation (51% wind and solar) to identify optimal storage zones. Transmission zones in the North, Northwest, West, Far West, and Panhandle regions were found to be the most favorable for building grid-scale storage from an economic standpoint. Next, higher energy storage penetrations were modeled to analyze the impact of storage on system inertia and the system cost. These high penetration scenarios focused primarily on storage divided across the optimal storage zones in proportion to their system cost impact. The modeling results showed that flywheels were able to maintain higher system inertia levels. Even so, the system cost was much lower when compressed air energy storage systems were modeled, demonstrating that high-duration energy storage technologies provided the most value to the grid. Energy storage was also more effective at maintaining grid stability and reducing costs than peaking plants. As a result, our model showed that new peakers might not be revenue sufficient in zones with high penetrations of renewable energy and energy storage. Many options exist for reliably integrating high penetrations of variable renewable energy generation, including an inertia market, synthetic and virtual inertia, and grid-scale storage, but few of these solutions are available today. Together, each of the analyses presented in this dissertation communicate when grid stability issues might occur and how low system inertia levels could be avoided

Book excerpt: ENERGY STORAGE TECHNOLOGIES IN GRID MODERNIZATION Written and edited by a team of experts, this exciting new volume discusses the various types of energy storage technologies, the applications of energy storage systems, their role in the real-time operation of power markets, and the operational issues of modern power systems, including renewable-based generating sources. The worldwide energy sector, specifically power generation, has undergone a huge transformation in recent years, and the focus is to make it sustainable, environmentally friendly, reliable, and highly efficient. As a result, a significant share of highly intermittent but clean renewable sources is being integrated into the power system using advanced technological components. The higher penetration level of renewable energy sources (RESs) has increased the active power generation share in the grid but reduced the total rotating system inertia. This high reduction in inertia brings new challenges and technical issues to the operators of modern power systems and impacts the stability and security of the grid. The stochasticity of these renewable sources also poses a big challenge to the efficient operation of the power system. Electrical energy storage systems help to manage such issues and challenges that occur due to the intermittent nature of RES and can play a big role in the smooth and reliable operation of the power system. The applications and opportunities to use storage on the grid are growing due to the improvements in energy storage technologies, and flexible regulatory frameworks. Technological developments have made it possible to use batteries and other Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) for managing the operation of the power system. This book aims to illustrate the potential of energy storage systems in different applications of the modern power system considering recent advances and research trends in storage technologies. These areas are going to play a very significant role in future smart grid operations. This book discusses the various types of energy storage technologies and promotes the applications of ESSs in the performance improvement of modern power systems. Whether for the veteran engineer, new hire, or student, it is a must-have for any library.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present framework of the electric power system enhances the gradual introduction of renewable energy sources because of environmental requirements. Within this setting, renewable micro-generators are progressively spreading in low voltage (LV) distribution grids acting as self-consumption energy supply for residential and industrial electric schemes. Distributed generation through renewable micro-generators in LV networks causes signi cant alterations in the electric parameters due to surplus injected energy in o -peak load demand hours. As a result of disturbing the power balance of the electric grid, over-voltage appears, power ow is upset and current increases. To permit further implementation of renewable micro-generators in LV grids, such as PV panels and wind turbines, mitigation techniques must be developed to regulate the in icted alterations. Hence, the objective of the present work enhances the evaluation of energy storage systems to work as mitigation tools. According to the settled premises, the present study analyzes the e ectiveness of centralized batteries on the electric parameters of LV distribution grids with many renewable micro-generator modules, and their in uence on unbalanced phases and energy losses, all through simulations. Therefore, a speci c simulation tool has been created, automating the entire procedure through an algorithm that functions in the MATLABr and MATPOWER working environment. In order to acquire appropriate and valid result outcomes during the simulation process, a speci c model that recreates a realistic residential LV distribution grid with included micro-generators and centralized energy storage system has been established based on real data. Furthermore, di erent possible scenarios modifying variable parameters of the model are discussed in order to approximate the case study to real conditions (average behavior and best/worst case scenarios). Ultimately the outcomes of the simulation process are evaluated in order to determine the e ectiveness and viability of the proposed mitigation tool. Therefore, all positive and negative traits are appraised according to technological vantages and economic viability of the technology. To conclude, apart from the sections included in the analysis of the present study, additional relevant working areas are also featured within the appendices of the project. These include environmental impact, economic study, computation methods, tool descriptions and utilized data.

Download or read book How Solar Energy Became Cheap written by Gregory F. Nemet and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar energy is a substantial global industry, one that has generated trade disputes among superpowers, threatened the solvency of large energy companies, and prompted serious reconsideration of electric utility regulation rooted in the 1930s. One of the biggest payoffs from solar’s success is not the clean inexpensive electricity it can produce, but the lessons it provides for innovation in other technologies needed to address climate change. Despite the large literature on solar, including analyses of increasingly detailed datasets, the question as to how solar became inexpensive and why it took so long still remains unanswered. Drawing on developments in the US, Japan, Germany, Australia, and China, this book provides a truly comprehensive and international explanation for how solar has become inexpensive. Understanding the reasons for solar’s success enables us to take full advantage of solar’s potential. It can also teach us how to support other low-carbon technologies with analogous properties, including small modular nuclear reactors and direct air capture. However, the urgency of addressing climate change means that a key challenge in applying the solar model is in finding ways to speed up innovation. Offering suggestions and policy recommendations for accelerated innovation is another key contribution of this book. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of energy technology and innovation, climate change and energy analysis and policy, as well as practitioners and policymakers working in the existing and emerging energy industries.
