Abstract [en]

Smart grids seem to be the solution to use energy from renewable and intermittent energy sources in an efficient manner. There are many research projects around the world and two of them are Jeju Smart Grid Test-bed and Smart Grid Gotland. They have in common that they are both island-based projects and connected to the Powergrid on the mainland by HVDC-link. The purpose of this thesis is to compare the two projects and find out what challenges and strategies they have related to wind power integration. The objective of the two projects were somewhat different. Jeju Smart Grid Test-bedare the starting point for South Korea’s smart grid road map, where the objective ultimately is to construct a smart grid on a national scale in South Korea. For Smart Grid Gotland there are three main focus areas; electricity market, power quality and wind power integration. In this thesis focus is on wind power integration. Wind power integration in smart grids would benefit from energy storage technology connected to the wind power-park to even out the power output. Properties for a potential energy storage connected to Näsudden wind power park situated on the southern tip of Gotland has been investigated and the result is that such an energy storage would likely need to be big and expensive, but able to stabilize the power output.
