Integration of large amount of wind energy in an interconnected power system creates concerns about secure, reliable and economical operation of the entire power system. So it becomes very necessary to investigate the impacts of wind power infeed on the dynamic behavior of the power system. This paper presents the impacts of large amount of wind power in feed on the rotor oscillatory stability. Wind turbine generator types currently employed in wind farms, optimal location of the wind farms in the interconnected power system, reliable optimal dispatch of the wind power and the degree of tie line congestion have been thoroughly investigated. Kundur's two area network model has been utilized to study the mentioned impacts on the overall system using MATLAB/Simulink. Some of the key results show that the damping characteristics of the wind farms critically depend on the location of interconnection in the network and the optimal wind energy dispatch. Increasing the penetration of the wind energy generally improves the damping of the inter area oscillations. Moreover, reducing stress on the weak tie lines also improves the inter area mode of oscillation. So with the investigation of these impacts this study is helpful for the planning of new wind power projects.

Photovoltaic energy has grown massively in Germany in recent years, so that the government plans to rein in the boom by cutting generous subsidiaries. Still, a larger number of photovoltaic systems will be integrated into the energy supply networks, which are mostly connected to the low voltage grid. This paper aims at finding out the impact of urban decentralized photovoltaic systems on the power quality including harmonics, voltage change and load digestion.

Due to the progress in the field of solar cells the widespread use of photovoltaic systems in the urban areas appears to have a significant breakthrough. The energy supply will be challenged with high urban photovoltaic consumers. It has to be investigated, whether the existing network structures are able to integrate the large-scale photovoltaic power.

Electro-mechanical oscillations are produced, in the machines of an interconnected power network, followed by a disturbance or due to high power transfer through weak tie lines. These oscillations should be damped as quickly as possible to ensure the reliable and stable operation of the network. To damp these oscillations different controllers, based on local or wide area signals, have been the subject of many papers. This paper presents the analysis of the performance of Conventional Power System Stabilizer (CPSS) and Fuzzy Logic Controller. Two area 14 bus symmetrical system is considered to demonstrate the performance of these controllers using Simulink/MATLAB. Simulation results depict fuzzy logic based controller having dual inputs of rotor speed deviation and generator's accelerating power is the better cost effective solution for damping the inter area oscillations specifically, in comparison with conventional power system stabilizer.
