Impact of the Wind Power Plant Connection to the Kosovo Power System

The integration of renewable energy sources into power system is not straightforward, but very challenging bearing in mind the impact they have on voltages, short circuit currents, power losses, etc. This paper addresses all potential issues caused by connection of wind power plant with installed capacity of 45.6 MW to the Kosova Transmission System. The analysis is performed by using of both on-site measurement results and simulations conducted in ETAP software. Some of the conclusions point to improving of voltage profiles, reduction of active and reactive power losses, as well as short circuit current after wind plant integration.
