9 TODAY: Why is Control Required? Distributed bulk power systems feed into an electricity grid which originally was designed for centralized, top down electricity distribution and supply. At low voltage and medium voltage levels Wind power plants Photovoltaic power plants CSP power plants Biogas power plants Tidal wave plant Geothermal plants Source: Siemens AG skytron energy GmbH 08 / 2011 Page 9

10 The Effect Upon the Electricity Grid Load Solar Wind Water Biomass Geothermal Residual load Daily mean load / generation [GW] Time skytron energy GmbH 08 / 2011 Page 10

11 Today s Electricity Grid Characteristics Fluctuating load profiles (day, night) Fluctuating energy injection by Renewables due to variable weather conditions Irregular energy injection and energy extraction in sub grids Limited energy transport capacities of historic transmission and distribution grids Limited capabilities of conventional power plants to balance out those fluctuations Grid faults sudden load shedding and short circuits Grid Security Grid Stability Grid security management measures On demand reduction of energy injection in the event of grid overload Decentralized grid stability measures Voltage support Injection of reactive power (cos ø) Frequency stability monitoring Fault ride through Provision of short circuit current (LVFRT) skytron energy GmbH 08 / 2011 Page 11

12 Grid Stability 0.95 overexcited Improved grid stability thanks to decentralized grid support: Voltage support Injection of reactive power Frequency monitoring The controllable power plant improves the grid quality 0.95 underexcited either instantly, according to actual demand of power supply company or according to an agreed specification skytron energy GmbH 08 / 2011 Page 12
