Abstract:Fractional frequency transmission system ( FFTS) provides a new approach for integrating remote large - capacity wind power to grid. Firstly,the structure and advantages of this system are introduced. Then,an optimization method is proposed to determine the penetration limit of wind power by considering static security constraints. This method could be used for the system integrated wind system via FFTS and that via conventional transmission approach. Finally,three schemes are designed to integrate wind power to RTS - 24 testing system,and the the penetration limits of these schemes are compared. The results indicate that the penetration limits are increased obviously when the wind power is transmitted to load center instead of the border of the grid. Therefore,integrating wind farm to power grid via FFTS is a very promising approach to benefit wind power industry.
