Wind energy integration into 380 kV system-impact on power quality of MV and LV networks

Abstract

The amount of electrical energy produced by wind mills is constantly increasing. Nowadays detailed analyses considering the impact of wind energy integration on the transmission system are required. The goal of this study is to examine the power quality behavior of the network in case of integration of different amounts of wind energy at different locations of the 380 kV transmission system. In order to analyse the impact of wind energy integration on the network's power quality, a 380 kV transmission system with MV, and LV subsystems is modeled, integrated wind farms are used and power quality analyses are performed.
