Abstract

With the increased usage of different types of renewable energy based on variable output characteristics, power curtailments have become a major problem in grid operation. The advanced controllers in distribution networks are significant in reducing the uncertainties caused by renewable generators. Along with this, at the operational level, the determination of the appropriate amount of curtailment for the stability and economics of the system was taken into account The paper proposes an adaptive curtailment method in order to improve the accuracy of the power flow coming from the distribution network, with the signal created according to the system operator based on the response of the electric vehicle (EV). The method covers the economic loss caused by the curtailment process through the compensation profits. The main determinant reference proposal concerns the sensitivity and ability to increase the stability and economic feasibility of the interconnected power system. The benefits generated by the EV charging are provided to wind turbine operators in the scenario to compensate for excessive constraints. The whole method is applied in the IEEE-69 bus system to verify the effect with MATLAB.
