Challenges of the integrationof large-scale NCRE plants to power systems
![Page 11: Research at the Renewable Energy Systems Laboratory (LaSER)](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/586e81a91a28aba0038b56c9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Planning:
• Inter-hour variation of generated power (hardto estimate).
•Uncertainty in generated power.
• Large variations in generated power.
Operation:
•No contribution of inertial power (PFC).
• Low contribution under voltaje sag.

Example:Hardware-In-the-LoopVirtual Synchronous Machine (VSM): adding inertia to PV plants.
![Page 26: Research at the Renewable Energy Systems Laboratory (LaSER)](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051503/586e81a91a28aba0038b56c9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Background
• Frequency deviations are first limited by inertia and then by PFC units.
• PV plants are non-rotating generators that add no inertia to the system Loss of inertia, frequency control and stability.
• VSM allows a PV plant to support PFC units by emulating inertial response and primary mover.
