A linear approach to study the influence of asynchronous wind parks on isolated networks

Abstract

This paper deals with the study of power quality in an isolated system with high wind energy penetration level. An induction wind plant, a synchronous power plant and a network constitute the analysed system. The work focuses on studying the effect of mechanical power from wind on load voltage and network frequency fluctuations. A linear model for the complete system is proposed in order to use eigenfrequencies and Bode plots to carry out this study. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All fights reserved.
