Abstract :
[en] Elia, the Belgian TSO, is aiming to minimize curtailment of wind power plants connected to its 70kV rural network to the absolute minimum by using Dynamic Line Rating in combination with advanced flow simulation. This combination allows Elia to use its network assets to their real time maximum, without increasing risk and decreasing the security of supply. In situations like the one described below, where it’s possible to control the flow in near real-time via curtailment it becomes possible to use all of the extra capacity available via Dynamic Line Rating. On average more then 30% extra capacity is available but this figure can easily increase to 100% extra capacity as soon as there is more then 4 m/s wind perpendicular to the line
