Abstract

As renewable energy becomes more widespread, the uncertainty of its output poses serious challenges for peak and frequency regulation of the power system. Evaluating a grid’s capacity to integrate renewable energy sources can provide an early-warning and decision-making basis for grid operation and scheduling. This paper presents a method for evaluating the hosting capacity of renewable energy, considering frequency security constraints. Introducing the system frequency nadir constraint into a system ensures that the frequency does not drop to a dangerous level in the event of power disturbances. The analytical characterization relation equation for the system frequency nadir constraint is constructed based on polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) theory. Furthermore, with the goal of minimizing the reduction in renewable energy, considering multiple flexible resources, like demand response (DR), Combined Heat and Power (CHP), energy storage, and Power-to-Gas (P2G), a renewable energy hosting capacity evaluation model that considers frequency security and flexibility resources is established. Finally, based on the concept of the feasible region, the maximum hosting capacity of a system’s renewable energy is visualized using the progressive vertex enumeration method. It identifies the safe operating region for renewable energy output that meets the safety constraints of power grid operations. The simulation results were validated using a modified IEEE 39 bus system.
