Abstract
The Danish Energy Strategy Plan aims to transform Denmark into a fossil-free country by 2050. Large-scale wind power penetration is expected to increase in the power system. The high penetration level of wind farms creates challenges to the power system control and operation. The conventional grid would have to transform into a Smart grid in order to cope with the challenges. Smart Energy System presents flexible loads like electric vehicles, heat pumps, electrolysers in a Smart grid environment as demand response resources and indirect storage units that provides a supporting role to integrate more wind power in the grid. In this thesis, the focus is on the employment of electrolyzer, aggregation of heat pumps, electrical vehicles as flexible loads and associated energy storage units for power balancing in wind power dominated power systems. Dynamic analysis on an IEEE standard grid model are conducted under various grid operating conditions and scenarios in DIgSILENT Power Factory. In dynamic analysis, flexible loads is modelled for Load Frequency Control and coordination.
