The growing integration of renewable energy sources in electrical networks challenges system operators due to reduced inertia and potential instability in frequency and voltage regulation. This study explores how advanced FACTS devices, like STATCOMs, can enhance system stability, comparing them with alternatives such as synchronous condensers and supercapacitor-equipped STATCOMs, and includes an update on STATCOM installations in Italy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":93,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[1324,1300,1407,1307],"targets":[1304,1314,1317],"pubblicazioni_tipologie":[773],"class_list":["post-203514","pubblicazioni","type-pubblicazioni","status-publish","hentry","tag-electricity-network-en","tag-industrial-sector","tag-quality-of-supply","tag-renewable-energy-en","targets-industrial-world","targets-press-media-en","targets-research","pubblicazioni_tipologie-isi-article-en"],"acf":{"dont_show_hompage":true,"projects":{"ID":188403,"post_author":"464","post_date":"2024-06-13 15:10:08","post_date_gmt":"2024-06-13 13:10:08","post_content":"","post_title":"Evolution, planning, scheduling and operation of power grids","post_excerpt":"The goal of the project is the pursuit of efficient management of the Italian electricity system that meets, in evolving scenarios, criteria of security and quality of operation, adequacy and resilience, ensuring a system-based approach.

The continuously growing penetration of renewable energy sources (RESs) in electrical networks provides increasing challenges and critical situations to be managed by worldwide system operators. Due to their features and variability, non programmable RES power plants, whose increasing penetration reduces the inertia level of the power system, may determine the instability effects on the grids, especially from the frequency and voltage regulation standpoints.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The present study focuses on the support that advanced FACTS (Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System) devices, such as STATCOMs (Static Synchronous Compensators), can provide to the power system operation in terms of system inertia improvement, frequency stability, and voltage stability.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In particular, a review of the scientific literature and practice is performed, with the aim of benchmarking the ongoing evolution of these technologies, also comparing them with different options based on synchronous condensers, synchronous condensers integrated with flywheels, and STATCOMs with supercapacitors.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The outcome of the analysis consists of an updated evaluation of the state-of-the-art technological development in the field and of a comparison between different FACTSs with the purpose of identifying the most suitable solutions for different practical situations, also taking account of synergies across various options. This study includes an updated overview regarding the status of STATCOM installation in the Italian power grid.<\/p>\n","scarica_file":false,"link_estreno":[{"link_text":"Download Publication","link":"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2079-9292\/13\/21\/4262"}],"button":{"text":"","link":""},"referente_group":false,"data_emissione":"2024-10-30","autori":"A.
