TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe some of the challenges involved in setting up such a facility and provide examples of experimental results, as well as the availability of a flexible facility such as this is essential in advancing the science in this area and is leading to valuable insights into microgrid operation.
Abstract: Microgrids are local area power systems, and are attracting increased attention due to their potential to provide a solution to integrate renewable energy into the wider grid. In order to facilitate experimental research, a microgrid laboratory has been built by CSIRO in Australia. Experiments have been carried out which investigate issues of integrating distributed generation, including renewable energy, into the electricity network. This paper describes some of the challenges involved in setting up such a facility and provides examples of experimental results. This facility is unique in its incorporation of three types of solar PV technologies, two types of wind power, three types of battery storage, and a programmable load bank. The availability of a flexible facility such as this is essential in advancing the science in this area, and is leading to valuable insights into microgrid operation.

TL;DR: Based on the recorded real-time operation data of large-scale wind farm connected with Inner Mongolia power grid in past two years and utilizing the methods of probabilistic statistical analysis and time series analysis, the fluctuation characteristics of active power generated by wind farm is analyzed, and its variation law as well as various factors impacting power grid operation are searched as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: It is very important for the guidance of power grid operation and management to analyze the characteristics of active power of large-scale grid-connected wind farm and find out its variation law. Based on the recorded real-time operation data of large-scale wind farm connected with Inner Mongolia power grid in past two years and utilizing the methods of probabilistic statistical analysis and time series analysis, the fluctuation characteristics of active power generated by wind farm is analyzed, and its variation law as well as various factors impacting power grid operation are searched. According to the results from research and analysis, the key factors impacting the wind power capacity injected into power grid are found, and active power characteristics of power grid, which reveal after injecting different capacity of wind power into power grid, are summarized.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed to use discrete fourier transform (DFT) to decompose the imbalance power into different time-varying components, i.e., intra-week, intra-day, intrahour and real-time.
Abstract: The variability and intermittence of wind power will cause the large imbalance power that demands more expensive ancillary service. Energy storage, fast response but costly, is a viable solution to suppress the fluctuation of wind power. However, the determination of energy storage is a great challenge given the load demand and wind power uncertainties This paper proposes to use discrete fourier transform (DFT) to decompose the imbalance power into different time-varying components, i.e., intra-week, intra-day, intra-hour and real-time. Therefore, the imbalance power to be compensated by energy storage can be quantified. By compensating the fast-changing imbalance power (the slowly changing power is provided by the conventional generators), energy storage can be optimized to accommodate integration of high penetration wind power. The simulation results on the 2030 Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) system demonstrate effectiveness and efficiency of this approach.
