Application #1 WPP Control
Main Components• Different external grid stiffness• 2 STATCOMs• 29 km Export cable• 35 Wind Turbines (type-4)
Control Design Criteria• According to UK Grid Code• Dynamic response of the reactive power
output– Delay time– Rise time– Settling time– Overshoot

Application #1 WPP Control
without STATCOM: with STATCOM:
• Discrete-event simulation (closed-loop) vs. step response (open-loop) Validation of control design & tuning Accurate representation of grid events

Application #2 Demand Response
38 houses in a low voltage (LV)grid- 8 electric cars charging in 1-2
intervals per day- 5 kW electric heating in winter- PV generation in every house
LV Grid
No control (no DMC) Baseline DMC: no loading limit in secondary substation transformer & fixed prices. Excessive consumption: reduce load if demand exceeds loading limit Excessive generation: limit overall injected power into LV grid Interruption – communication failures Spot price used for demand control
