Summary

Russia’s power development strategy calls for transitioning to low-carbon energy and reducing the climate impact of the power complex. At present, wind and solar generation facilities account for as much as 12% of installed capacity in specific power systems of Russia.

The System Operator and owners of generation facilities jointly undertake a modernization of automatic and emergency control systems of RES and ensure the roll-out of remote-control technologies for generation facilities.

Aiming to ensure reliable power supply for power districts beyond the Arctic Circle, the System Operator implemented a suite of measures to introduce digital planning and generation facility control solutions in a power system in which low-carbon sources account for over 70% of the power produced.

The paper contains a detailed description of the organization of secondary frequency and active power flow control in the power system, wide-area automatic frequency and power flow control system structure and functions, characteristics of wind power plant (WPP), and plant frequency and power flow control devices of WPP. Additionally, a detailed WPP control algorithm is provided, which takes into account WPP wind load parameters, joint control of WPP and HPPs, hierarchical control imposed by the power system’s wide-area automatic frequency and power flow control system and the use of HPPs target power communication systems (TPCSs).
