Analysis of the effect of wind power plants on the out-of-step protection operation

Abstract

The dynamics of growth and the structure of installed capacity of power plants in the Unified Energy System (UES) of Russia by generation types for 2015-2018 are analyzed. The absolute increase in generating capacity of power plants based on renewable energy sources (RES) is considered, the development prospects and factors constraining the widespread introduction of renewable generation are identified. In particular, the economic factor-renewable energy can not compete with traditional energy resources in the cost of generated electricity, as well as the technical factor associated with solving problems of connecting and operating of RES to the UES of Russia are presented.
