Resumen:
The incorporation of wind power generation (WPG) in power systems is growing progressively. This integration can introduce problems in the dynamics of the electrical system, which will be more severe in weak systems and in microgrids (MGs). On the other hand, new energy storage devices have emerged in recent years. These new devices allow to control the operation of electrical systems. In this work, a flywheel energy storage system (FESS) is proposed to mitigate problems introduced by WPG into MGs. The model of the FESS is presented, and the control algorithm used is described briefly. Simulation tests on the behavior of the FESS device are analyzed when it works in combination with WG in a MG. The study is carried out considering different penetration levels of WPG in the MG. Results show satisfactory performance of the proposed device to mitigate problems introduced by the WPG in the MG.
