Reliability Assessment of Power System Considering the Impact of Renewable Energy Sources Integration Into Grid With Advanced Intelligent Strategies

Abstract

Power industry is incidenting a change from the present electric grid to a more secure, reliable, capable and advanced smart grid. Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy systems will be incorporated and potentially in bid scale in order to obtain these aims. Many possible applications of renewable energy sources have been inspected. In this article, reliability enhancement of power system considering the impact of wind and solar energy sources integration into grid with advanced intelligent strategies is focused. Further, different models are utilized to obtain the proposed renewable energy sources operation. Further, a reliability assessment framework is discussed to examine the reliability impact of renewable energy sources integration into the grid. A comprehensive case study and risk analysis has been performed based on the different risk indexes to show the usefulness of the proposed strategies and assessment framework, and to give precious insight on the reliability impact resulting from the wind and solar energy resources integration into the grid. The main advantages of renewable energy sources integration into grid with intelligent techniques are presented here along with the reliability evaluation. The results of the study reveals that the integration of the solar and wind energy systems into the grid enhances overall the reliability of the entire power system
