Dynamic rating with applications to renewable energy

back to project index

Project abstract

The sustainable energy generation and efficient usage of materials are important for the development of modern society. Increasing share of renewable power generation units brings additional challenges for planning of power network, together with the challenges come new, more effective ways of utilization of power devices. In the traditional grids power transmission components are selected in order to satisfy high reliability criteria, with less consideration about efficient utilization of those components. In other words, power transmission components are mostly overrated in order to ensure high safety and availability of the system even under extreme conditions. Extreme conditions are mainly associated with extreme weather, such as high ambient temperatures and little to no wind, since the surrounding weather plays important role in the heat balance of power components.

The capacity of power devices is mostly highly dependent on the heat transfer properties of the materials, which the devices are made of. To ensure correct power limits of the equipment, one must take into consideration not only the power load, but also ambient conditions, such as: temperature, wind speed, wind direction, solar irradiation, humidity, pressure, radiation into the atmosphere and magnetic losses. Dynamic Rating (DR) is a method of unlocking the capacity of power components using available information on weather conditions.

Dynamic rating is created as an alternative to standard constant rating that is designed with reference to extreme weather and load conditions. Some areas are more likely than others to experience extreme weather conditions, which have a chance of occurring only a few days per year for short periods of time. Such a distribution of weather parameters gives an opportunity to embed existing material properties of the power equipment and achieve a better utilization of the grid.

Summary of work

This project targets improving usage of power transformers and power lines by implementing dynamic rating. The main focus of the project is on exploring potential ways to connect power generated from wind to the grid with the help of dynamic rating technologies. Therefore, great focus of the work lies on the analysis of DR connection of variable energy sources such as wind farms.
