Abstract (EN): This study presents a conceptual model addressing the establishment of connection requirements for power-converter-interfaced renewable generation in islanded power systems. The replacement of fossil-fuel generation by time-variable renewable sources implies important changes in the system operation philosophy with respect the dynamic security resulting from the proliferation of power electronic interfaced units and reduction of regulation capacity existing in conventional units. Taking into consideration such an environment, this work focuses on the Madeira Island study case, which is facing a tremendous challenge regarding medium-term plans for renewables integration that lead to operational scenarios with 100% of power infeed from renewables in a system characterised by a diversity of resources. The requirements for the future renewable generation systems were identified via extensive dynamic simulations of large disturbances performed in those operating scenarios.
