8 Requirements of grid friendly utility scale PV plants Utility scale PV plants are increasing in power and number Their feed-in could be limited in the future due to conventional must-run-units and their ancillary services To minimize must-run-units, a behavior of PV plants similar to conventional generation is needed Ancillary services are strictly necessary for the function of the power system. These services are provided for the network user by the system operators. Thus they define the quality of supply: frequency control voltage control grid restoration Stefanie Koch Grid Integration of PV plants in Germany Page 8 system & operation management.

9 Control reserve for frequency control Absorbing / releasing energy (in case of over- / under-frequency) by rotating masses is called instantaneous power reserve ( spinning reserve ) Primary control reserve (PCR) is activated directly by a controller at the power plant f P P Frequency 5 s 10 s 15 min 1 h Demand and Supply 5 s 10 s 15 min 1 h Secondary control and minute reserve, activated by the TSO, are relieving the PCR Stefanie Koch Grid Integration of PV plants in Germany Page 9 P Primary and secondary control reserve 5 s 10 s 15 min 1 h Source: Verstege
10 Prequalification procedure and market conditions TSO announces demand of control reserve Prequalified suppliers are able to bid on control reserve So far, conventional power plants provided control reserve Market-opening for renewables slowly but surely Primary control reserve Secondary control reserve Minute reserve Time slice 24 h for one week Two slices (peak and off-peak) Six slices each 4 h Minimum Power ±1 MW ±5 MW ±5 MW Auction period weekly weekly daily (except Sat., Sun. & on public holiday) Activation time Full power after 30 s After 30 s reaction measurable, full power after Stefanie Koch Grid Integration of PV plants in Germany Page 10 min Max. duration 15 min 4 h Replaced by intra-day-market Tech. requirements Announcement 7,5 min before activation, full power after 15 Automatic (on frequency-change) Automatic, external signal from TSO Automatic, external signal from TSO Payment Capacity price ( / MW) Capacity-( / MW) and energy-( / MWh)price Capacity-( / MW) and energy-( / MWh)price Pooling Only inside the control area Only inside the control area to achieve the minimum power also across control areas min Only inside the control area to achieve the minimum power also across control areas Current demand 628 MW (+ and -) (DE, CH, NL) 1906 MW (-) and 1992 MW (+) (DE) 2208 MW (-) and 2476 MW (+) (DE)

12 Contribution of renewable energies to the frequency control Previously PV systems in Germany had to shut down at a frequency of 50,2 Hz With the big increase in PV generators in Germany, this effect could cause a simultaneous shut down of >10 GW danger of under frequency and system instabilities Since 2011 inverters need to have a linear degradation of active power by over frequency. characteristic-curve method More than PV power plants had to be retrofitted 50,2 Hz issue 51, Hz f 51.5 Hz P = 40 % per Hz Stefanie Koch Grid Integration of PV plants in Germany Page 12
13 Source: echo-online.de Reactive power management for voltage control Capacitive (e.g. cables) or inductive (e.g. transformers, overhead lines, loads) elements generate reactive power demand Network assets have to be designed for the additional reactive power transmission Transmission of reactive power causes active power losses Reactive power should be provided where it is needed Compensation systems are used by the TSO for voltage control Static voltage control Adjustment of the voltage by limited active-power feed-in (P(V)) Dynamic voltage control Supply of short circuit power: For a secure trigger of the protective devices To limit the voltage droop in case of a fault Stefanie Koch Grid Integration of PV plants in Germany Page 13 Phase-shifter in the former nuclear power plant Biblis A

15 Grid restoration after a blackout The current concept after a blackout incorporates a grid restoration via the transmission network level: Power plants with start-up ability (hydro and gas-turbine power plants) build up the supply on the maximum voltage level Thereby they help other power plants to restart Separate island-networks are synchronized to bigger grid system; lower network-levels and loads are gradually connected Up to now: non-open platform for these ancillary services and therefore no economic incentive for PV But: inverter systems are suitable to support grid restoration Greatest challenge will be the complex coordination of all participants Stefanie Koch Grid Integration of PV plants in Germany Page 15
16 Source: fernglasagentur.de System management Monitoring the current network status Continuous monitoring only on the maximum and high voltage levels, partially on the mid-voltage levels In the most low-voltage grids there is no monitoring Congestion management for prevention of local asset overloads E.g. by feed-in management (renewables), re-dispatch (conv. power plant) or other action to influence the feed-in (countertrading) Securing and providing the other ancillary services (frequency control, voltage control and grid restoration) Responsibilities TSO: Responsibilities DSO: Organization of the use of the control reserve and reactive power, congestion management and grid restoration Local voltage control and grid restoration (supporting TSO) Stefanie Koch Grid Integration of PV plants in Germany Page 16
17 Limitation of rate of change Challenge: With PV systems, high rates of change possible due to variations in irradiance Variability of PV generation critical for grid reliability Solution: Ramp rate control to make controlled changes Larger plants have smoother rate of changes MW W/m² :00 05:00 10:00 15:00 Time in minutes Source: First Solar Stefanie Koch Grid Integration of PV plants in Germany Page 17
