On the Effect of High Renewable Energy Penetration with Jordanian Electrical Power Grid

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive simulation study for Jordanian power system stability subjected to applied disturbances. In addition, feasibility of flexibility solutions will be investigated on the studied Jordanian grid. The study is carried out at various scenarios that are reflecting grid conditions for load (peak and low load) and high-renewable integration condition. The response of the power system after applied event and grid behavior is observed. The variations of the studied system operating points have also been outlined. In all cases, the simulations are conducted using the complete Jordanian dynamical model. It is concluded that the power system can withstand up to a limit the amount of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) integration in system running load conditions. It is worth mentioning that not only load status affects the operating conditions of system with high-RES integration but also It is largely dependent on the interconnection status with neighboring countries.
