“…Finally, manual tertiary voltage control re-establishes the reactive power flow through the power system. Naturally, demand-side resources capable of absorbing or generating reactive power have the potential of participating in voltage control [26,27].…”

Insular electricity grids are considered to have a more fragile structure than the mainland ones due to several factors such as the lower inertia because of lower number of generation facilities connected to the system, absence or insufficient interconnection with the main grid, etc. The recent trend of integrating large portions of environmentally sustainable power generation units that have a significantly volatile nature in the generation mix (such as wind and solar energy conversion systems) within this fragile structure, poses profound challenges that need deeper and specific analysis. This study aims to provide an overview of insular power system structures and operational requirements, especially under increasing penetration of renewable energy sources. Firstly, a general evaluation of insular power systems is presented. Then, potential challenges are thoroughly discussed together with opportunities to tackle them. Future technological developments, as well as innovative applications are also given special attention. Hence, this paper contributes to the scarce literature regarding insular power systems by providing a critical overview of issues regarding their operation and possible solutions.

“…Great Belt Link (GBL) having a transmission capacity of 600 MW. The Danish power systems are also connected to the strong neighbouring power systems of Nordic and CE, which are offering large frequency bias factor [9]. The Eastern Danish power system is synchronized with the Nordic power system through Sweden, whereas the Western Danish power system is synchronized via Germany with the CE power system.…”

Highly wind power integrated power system requires continuous active power regulation to tackle the power imbalances resulting from the wind power forecast errors. The active power balance is maintained in real-time with the automatic generation control and also from the control room, where regulating power bids are activated manually. In this article, an algorithm is developed to simulate the activation of regulating power bids, as performed in the control room, during power imbalance between generation and load demand. In addition, the active power balance is also controlled through automatic generation control, where coordinated control strategy between combined heat and power plants and wind power plant enhances the secure power system operation. The developed algorithm emulating the control room response, to deal with real-time power imbalance, is applied and investigated on the future Danish power system model. The power system model takes the hour-ahead regulating power plan from power balancing model and the generation and power exchange capacities for the year 2020 into account. The real-time impact of power balancing in a highly wind power integrated power system is assessed and discussed by means of simulations for different possible scenarios.

“…Depending on the extent of the fluctuations in the generated wind power, variations in network frequency and voltages could reach unacceptable levels if appropriate corrective actions are not taken. Indeed, satisfactory power quality can be achieved as part of an ancillary service offered by the generators through the trading of real and reactive powers, as explained in [1,2].…”

Network frequency control function is incorporated into a grid-connected wind farm-dual battery energy storage system (BESS) scheme. The design of the scheme takes advantage of the rapid response characteristics of the BESS and the in-built short-term overloading capability of the associated power conversion devices. A control strategy to regulate the BESS output power is then proposed. It is shown that the frequency control action offered by the BESS complements amicably with that of conventional generators in enhancing the frequency regulation attribute of the grid system.
