RESEARCH OF EFFECTS OF RENEWABLE POWER PLANTS INTEGRATION TO POWER SYSTEM BLACKOUT

Abstract

Nowadays, the integration of renewable power plant into power system is currently increased. Some
concerns that the integration may be cause of power system blackout. Some papers have discussed
the influences of renewable energy power plants to the phenomenon of frequency instability. The
paper compared the influence of traditional power plant and renewable power plant to power system
blackout caused by angle instability and voltage collapse by using dynamic simulation of PSS/E
software. The paper also proposed remedial methods to prevent power system blackout with highly
penetration of renewable power plants.
