SIMULATION AND ANALYSIS OF SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZE POWER-SYSTEMS CONTAINING WIND TURBINES

In this paper a method of simulation and analysis of small or medium size power systems with high wind penetration is presented. The computer program developed provides the capability to consider separately the existence of wind turbines dispersed on the radial distribution networks or concentrated in Wind Parks. The repercussions from their operation to the power generation or the distribution system is calculated taking into account the composition and the reaction of the system loads. The program is applied to the study of the transient behavior of a small size power system typical of the ones existing in small and medium size islands in Greece.
