Abstract

The paper helps to understand the performance of the grid with battery and doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbines when operating in a weak grid scenario with a low short circuit ratio (SCR). The concept will analyze the performance of the grid with battery connected DFIG both in steady state and transient scenario. The grid can be represented as a Thevenin equivalent circuit and is rated at 12.5 kV. A battery system and a wind system are connected at the point of common coupling (PCC). The battery system being modeled in PSCAD software is rated at 1 MW/1 MWh and the wind system model is rated at 2 MW. The grid has been characterized and analyzed based on two categories: strong grid and weak grid. A grid is considered to be weak when the flow of active and reactive power in the network causes a significant amount of voltage fluctuation at the point of common coupling. A grid is considered to be strong when the grid is stable with allowable nominal deviations with voltage and frequency. The strength of the grid can be measured by taking the ratio of grid's short circuit power with grid nominal power.
