Wind - power system integration issues
§Continuous
voltage & frequency control:
–Unlikely to be a
problem with modern wind turbines
§Contingencies
& power system security:
–Wind farm starting
& stopping transients, including high-speed shut-down
–Wind farm fault
ride-through (modern turbines better)
–Large changes in
aggregated wind farm output
§Long-term
generation & network planning:
–Wind resource may
be best where network is weak
–Long-term wind
energy resource behaviour is uncertain
