“…When the FRT requirements of some TSOs go far beyond than which are required by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) standards, the generator manufactures are facing more difficulties to fulfill the requirements (Diez-Maroto et al, 2016) .…”

“…Therefore, the "ENTSO-e" is introducing a network code in order to harmonize the operating procedures among different TSOs and it is going to be a common network code in Europe. FRT capability of generators is one of the major consideration in harmonized power transmission systems (Diez-Maroto et al, 2016). For a generator, FRT capability is define as the ability of the generator to remain connected to the grid in the event of an external fault as long as the voltage at the connection point remains above a defined voltage level (Diez-Maroto et al, 2016).…”

“…Advantage of this new code would prevent generation tripping in circuits when the fault is cleared in reasonable time. Lower time limit of the FRT requirement is set to 0.15 s, considering the clearing time of protection relays of the first zone, on the other hand, the upper time limit is set to 0.25 s considering the clearing time of protection relays of the first zone and the circuit breaker failure (ENTSO-e, 2017; Diez-Maroto et al, 2016).…”

Welcome to the 58th Conference on Simulation Modelling and Optimization in Reykjavik, Iceland. Reykjavik is the northernmost and one of the smallest capital cities in the world. Although small for a capital, it is the country's largest and most populated city and with the urban area population of around 200000, it is the home of the vast majority of Iceland's people. The city is pioneer in the use of geothermal energy to provide low-cost heating and electricity. Iceland's energy consumption per capita is among the highest in the world, and the proportion of this consumption provided by renewable energy sources exceeds most other countries. The electricity is produced almost entirely from renewable energy sources, hydroelectric (70%) and geothermal (30%) and simulation, modelling and optimization are the key elements to utilize the renewable energy more efficiently.The SIMS 58 will cover broad aspects of simulation, modelling and optimization and be a technical forum for participants to further their knowledge by being exposed to diverse topics, and exchange opinions and ideas both from industry and academia in a variety of topics related to simulation, modelling and optimization. The ambition is to bring the field of applied modelling and simulation techniques of energy systems to the general public as a contributing technology for efficient and sustainable energy systems. This year, the conference program contains two keynote speakers, 53 research papers and presentations organized into 14 sessions and an excursion to a geothermal park.The focus of the conference is on simulation, modelling and optimization in a variety of applied contexts including topics such as geothermal, hydro and bio energy, oil production, automotive industry and methodology and technologies for simulation, modelling and optimization.A key component of the SIMS conference is the opportunity to socialize and make new connections. The conference offers several possibilities such as a conference dinner at Bryggjan Brugghús (Bistro and Brewery), an excursion to the Reykjanes GEOPARK and last but not least some coffee and lunch breaks.SIMS stands for the Scandinavia Simulation Society with members from five Nordic countries, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Iceland. The goal of SIMS is to develop further the science and practice of modelling and simulation in all application areas and to be a forum for information interchange between professionals and non-professionals in the Nordic countries.Thanks to all participants, authors, keynote speakers and presenters for their contribution to this conference. I also want to acknowledge the support I have received from the conference board, program committee and the SIMS board. The support from the National energy authority, Iceland is gratefully acknowledged.Welcome, I hope you will enjoy the conference and the interactions with your colleagues and other presenter here.Magnus Excursion:The conference excursion will be on Wednesday, September 27 th , at 10:00. Resource Park in the Reykjanes pen...

“…Wind energy can have a significant impact on the grid, especially under abnormal grid voltage conditions . Hence, an increasing number of power system operators have implemented technical standards known as grid code requirements (GCRs) that wind turbine systems (WTSs) must meet . Generally, these GCRs cover many topics such as power factor regulation, frequency operating range, grid support capability, and low‐voltage ride‐through (LVRT) known also as fault ride‐through capability .…”

Summary The increased penetration level of wind power plants has brought new issues and challenges. One of them is the low‐voltage ride‐through (LVRT). This paper proposes a coordinated control and management strategy to improve the capability of a wind‐energy conversion system (WECS) to fulfill the universal LVRT requirements. Moreover, it aims to exploit the system maximum capability in regard to its protection and to ensure an optimized power management. In fact, under grid fault, the machine‐side converter (MSC) contributes to the DC‐link voltage regulation by storing a percentage of the surplus power in the drive shaft inertia of the WECS. Meanwhile, the grid‐side converter (GSC) injects a portion of active power and reactive power required to support the grid voltage recovery. In this condition, the DC‐link voltage is controlled through batteries by a DC‐DC converter and a braking chopper circuit. Whereas, in normal grid conditions, the DC‐link is regulated via the GSC. The proposal supports the WECS to ride through severe low voltages and protects the WECS from excessive current, overvoltage, the PMSG from overspeed, and extends the batteries' lifespan. Simulation results show the effectiveness and the validity of the proposed coordinated control and management strategy.

“…At present, the FRT requirement of the European network code is an interesting topic for the European electrical power producers and Diez-Maroto et al (2016) have investigated whether a typical round rotor turbogenerator fulfills the FRT requirement for this network code. Moreover, Delfanti et al (2014) have investigated the distributed renewable energy integration into the electrical grid.…”

This paper describes the Fault Ride Through (FRT) capability of generators of a part of the 132 kV high voltage power network in Telemark region, Norway using a simplified power system simulator model. The organization, "European network of transmission system operators for electricity" (ENTSO-e) is introducing a network code for the Transmission System Operators (TSO) in Europe where the upper limit of the FRT requirement for 132 kV system is 0.25 s. However, according to the Norwegian network code, this limit is 0.40 s. The generators in the Norwegian power system are located in a distributed network and most of these are hydropower generators. The simulation results show that the structure of the Nordic power system enhances the system stability. The dynamic model of the power network is developed by using DIgSILENT PowerFactory simulation tool.
