Abstract

The share of renewables in the power system is increasing rapidly. Large offshore wind power plants (OWPPs) are developed at a high pace and conventional fossil fuel-based plants are decommissioned. If the OWPP gets islanded due to any contingency or in the event of a blackout, the whole OWPP will be shutdown. This paper proposes a STATCOM with a battery storage that is located at the point of common connection to an OWPP to enable OWPP energization from a fully discharged state to operate in islanded mode. The STATCOM functionality provides fast and dynamic reactive power management and the battery unit provides active power balancing capability to regulate the frequency in the island. The concept is demonstrated through time-domain simulations on an OWPP model in PSCAD. The results confirm the technical feasibility of the system.
