Abstract

The paper presents a test system model to study the effect of variable wind power output on the stability of future power systems. The test system is built upon a future UK transmission system model and it contains different types of generators, HVDC transmission lines, and interconnections. A poorly damped inter-area mode is present in the test system that closely resembles the Scotland-England inter-area mode existing in the UK transmission system. The study system will help to analyze the impact of increased variability in power system operating conditions on the oscillatory mode.
