Grid Integration of Renewables: Challenges and Solutions

Power System Operation

Exponential growth in the energy demand on account of rising population and economic growth, increasing apprehensions of energy security coupled with climate change and global warming concerns are some of the major drivers for pushing the renewable energy (RE) to the top of the energy portfolio. Among various renewable energy resources, wind and solar PV systems are experiencing rapid growth since 2010. By the end of 2016, the world total capacity of wind power generation was 487 GW and that of solar PV was 303 GW, aggregating to a penetration level of 4.0% and 1.5% respectively. Global renewable energy penetration till Dec. 2016, excluding conventional hydro share (of 16.6%) was only around 8.0%. However, many countries have set target of 30% RE based electricity generation by 2030. India has an ambitious target of achieving 175 GW of RE power by 2022, with 100 GW from solar, 60 GW from wind, 10 GW from biomass and 5 GW from small hydro. Power generation from renewables often takes place through distributed generation (DG). These units, mostly located in remote locations, are not centrally planned or dispatched, and are usually connected to distribution grids at LV or MV levels. In few cases, large capacity RE generation are also connected to transmission networks. As a result, the power generation structure is moving from the large, centralized plants to a mixed generation pool consisting of traditional large plants and many smaller DG units. Most of the RE generators have electrical characteristics that are different from the synchronous machines. Since a large group of DG technologies use power electronics converters for grid connectivity, they introduce many technical issues related to the operation, control and protection of the power system, impacting generators, transmission system and consumer devices. This paper presents some of the technical issues and challenges that need to be addressed for the effective grid integration of RE based power generators so that eventually, our reliance on polluting and expensive fossilbased hydro-carbon driven power generation can be reduced substantially.

The Saudi Arabian Grid Code

Power System Operation

The Saudi Arabian Grid Code has been developed to define the rules and regulations for various Participants for accessing and using the Transmission System of the National Grid SA, a whollyowned subsidiary of the Saudi Electricity Company. The Code has already established in the first issue the obligations of the National Grid SA and other Grid Users—Generators, Distribution Entities, and Directly-connected Customers—for accessing and using the Grid, in specific to: (i) define obligations, responsibilities, and accountabilities of all the parties towards ensuring open, transparent, non-discriminatory, and economic access and use of the Grid while maintaining its safe, reliable, and efficient operation; (ii) define minimum technical requirements for the Participants; and (iii) set out the information exchange obligations of the Participants. Through its 7 chapters, the Saudi Arabian Grid Code attempts to cover matters such as defining of technical, design, and operational criteria for Grid access and use, planning for Grid development and reinforcement, System operation criteria and standards, Scheduling and Dispatch of supply and demand resources, exchange of data and information, and metering policies and systems to account for the Power and Energy transactions in the Grid. Chapter 1, General Conditions, contains provisions which are of general nature and apply to all sections of the Grid Code. Their objective is to ensure that the various sections of the Grid Code work collectively and in harmony with each other for the benefit of all Participants. Chapter 2, Connection Code, specifies basic principles and establishes a set of technical, design, and operational conditions for the Users for connecting to and using the Grid. It also contains information about the performance characteristics of the Transmission System at the Connection Point to enable the Users to design their own facilities and schemes accordingly. Chapter 3, Planning Code, provides a framework for enabling the TSP and Users to interact in relation to planning and development of the Transmission System and also specifies the data and information that they have to exchange with each other for this purpose.

SayanSarkar55

This document discusses different types of dampers used in overhead transmission lines to reduce vibrations caused by wind. It describes Stockbridge, ELGRA, torsional, Haro, and various spacer dampers. Stockbridge dampers use weights to counteract vibrations and have not changed much since their development in the 1920s. ELGRA dampers from Sweden use elastomer pads and weights. Torsional dampers are designed for bundled high voltage lines. Haro dampers effectively reduced vibrations but were difficult to transport. Spacer dampers establish conductor distance and reduce amplitudes on bundled lines.

400/220 kV SCADA controlled gis based TRANSMISSION SUBSTATION

Power System Operation

In all these systems, the power flow of electrical energy takes place through Electrical Substations. An Electrical Substation is an assemblage of electrical components including busbars, switchgear, power transformers, auxiliaries, etc. Basically an electrical substation consists of a number of incoming circuits and outgoing circuits connected to common busbar system. Busbars are conducting bars to which a number of incoming or outgoing circuits are connected. Each circuit has certain electrical components such as circuit-breakers, isolators, earthing switches, current transformers, voltage transformers, etc. These components are connected in a definite sequence such that a circuit can be switched off/on during normal operation by manual/remote command and also automatically during abnormal conditions such as short-circuits. A substation receives electrical power from generating station via incoming transmission lines and delivers electrical power via the outgoing transmission lines. Substations

Case Study - Importance of Relay Coordination in Process Industries

System Protection

A cement plant experienced unexpected tripping of the entire plant twice in three months due to poor relay coordination. An investigation found that load had been added to a motor control center without properly adjusting the relay settings. Specifically, a 75kW high pressure pump and compressor loads totaling 217kW were added. This caused the starting current of a 315kW crusher motor to exceed threshold levels after it restarted, tripping the entire plant. The outages cost the plant over 500 tons of lost cement production and 2.5-2.8 million rupees in losses each time. The case study highlights the importance of coordinating relay and protection settings whenever modifications are made to the electrical distribution system.

power-factor-correction.pptx

BabySweet5

Active power (P) is dissipated in resistive elements, while reactive power (Q) is stored and returned by reactive elements. Reactive power does not dissipate but increases current and losses. Reactive power required by inductive loads increases apparent power (KVA) in distribution systems, reducing the power factor. A low power factor results in larger equipment sizing, higher losses, and reduced system capacity. Power factor can be improved by adding capacitors in parallel with inductive loads to supply leading reactive power.

Weld Inspection - Non Destructive Test

Antonius Pompi Bramono

The document discusses various non-destructive testing methods used to inspect welds, including visual testing, penetrant testing, magnetic particle testing, ultrasonic testing, and radiographic testing. Visual testing involves using tools to examine weld features and detect discontinuities. Penetrant testing uses dye or fluorescent materials to reveal surface-breaking flaws. Magnetic particle and ultrasonic testing can detect internal flaws in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, while radiographic testing uses x-rays or gamma rays to examine weld interiors and create permanent records of weld quality. Proper calibration and interpretation by trained technicians is important for all non-destructive testing methods.

Heat Treatment Of Metals Powerpoint

Jutka Czirok

Annealing involves heating metal above its critical point and slowly cooling to improve ductility and reduce brittleness. Tempering is done after hardening to remove some of the brittleness and hardness of steel by heating to specific temperatures depending on the intended application. Normalizing makes the microstructure of the workpiece more uniform and removes internal stresses by heating and allowing faster cooling in air rather than slowly like annealing. This produces a finer grain structure and improved machining properties. Hardening increases the strength and wear resistance of carbon steel by heating above its critical point and rapidly quenching to cool it quickly, with faster cooling producing greater hardness.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing

Aftab Hussain

Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process. In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds. - These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf

Paige Cruz

Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack. While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack. I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

9 June 2011 Material for Nuclear ASME Applications
9 June 2011 Material for Nuclear ASME Applications How ASME material for non-nuclear applications can be used is quite clear. It can be fabricated by a material manufacturer fully in compliance with an ASME specification. The Material Test Report must meet the requirements of the material specification and/or the material must have the correct marking and no Third Party Inspection is needed. But, how about ASME material for nuclear applications? This paper explains how the types of material can be used, what to be considered and what consequences there are, based on the requirements as stipulated in the subarticle NCA-3800 for the entities involved in the performance of operations, processes, and services related to the procurement, manufacture, and supply of material, source material, and unqualified source material.
