Abstract

Wind energy is the current “star” in the field of renewable energy for electrical production. Still, the power generated from available wind over time is characteristically uneven due to the unpredictable nature of their primary source of power. This only increases the problems inherent to the integration of a great number of wind technologies into power networks, making their contribution rather difficult to manage (regulating voltage and frequency, wind-station operation, etc.). The integration of wind power in the Rwandan electrical system is now an issue in order to optimize the utilization of the resource and in order to continue the high rate of installation of wind generating capacity, which is necessary in order to achieve the goals of sustainability and security of supply. This paper presents and is intended to analyse wind power penetration and integration in the country, impact and challenges that are associated with the integration of wind power into power systems and analyse barriers to wind power penetration and integration in Rwanda. These impacts include effects of wind power on the electrical system, capacity of national grid to accommodate wind power (stability of grid). In addition, the paper suggests the solutions that should be offered to improve the management of wind power generation and increase its penetration in the overall electrical energy production. Keywords: Wind power potential, Wind power penetration, Barriers to wind power penetration, National grid of Rwanda, Integration.

卢旺达的风力发电渗透和整合

风能是目前电力生产可再生能源领域的“明星”。尽管如此，由于主要电力来源的不可预测性，随着时间的推移，可用风能产生的电力通常是不平衡的。这只会增加将大量风能技术整合到电网中所固有的问题，使它们的贡献难以管理(调节电压和频率，风力发电站的运行等)。将风力纳入卢旺达电力系统现在是一个问题，以便使资源的利用达到最佳，并继续保持风力发电能力的高安装率，这是实现供应的可持续性和安全目标所必需的。本文介绍并旨在分析该国的风电渗透和整合，与风电整合到电力系统相关的影响和挑战，并分析卢旺达风电渗透和整合的障碍。这些影响包括风力发电对电力系统的影响，国家电网容纳风力发电的能力(电网的稳定性)。此外，本文还提出了完善风电管理，提高风电在整体电力生产中的渗透率的解决方案。关键词:风电潜力，风电渗透，风电渗透障碍，卢旺达国家电网，一体化
