Using Shunt Capacitors to Mitigate the Effects of Increasing Renewable Energy Penetration
Abstract
Over the past two decades, Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) have gained global popularity. Control issues are becoming more difficult as the system inertia decreases due to the absence of typical synchronous generators. Innovative methods like fault current limiters, energy storage devices, and alternative control systems are utilized to deal with these difficulties. This study provides a summary of the challenges associated with incorporating high-level RESs into the existing grid. The increased penetration of the RESs has a negative impact on the system oscillations and harmonics, generating the need for power quality improvement techniques, such as adaptive control, adding energy systems, power stream assessment, or weight stream examination. This paper presents a framework of the power stream issue, its arrangement as well as different game plan methods. The power stream model of a power structure can be built using the significant association, weight, and age data.
