A Comprehensive Study on The Renewable Energy Integration Using DIgSILENT

Abstract

Renewable energy sources (RES) are growing rapidly as a result of energy security requirements and the environmental concerns. In spite of their many advantages, they yet pose many challenges to power grid operation. Therefore, appropriate rules and regulations ought to be formulated regarding the integration of these new sources into existing power grids. A comprehensive study of renewable energy systems integration using DIgSILENT PowerFactory software is conducted in this work. In presence of RES, the reliability and energy adequacy indicators of the network are investigated first. Furthermore, the energy storage systems, island mode, short circuit analysis, and probability analysis are assessed. More, harmonic analysis of RES in presence of unbalanced and balanced states is performed as well. A typical IEEE distribution system is employed to end the simulation analysis.
