Influence of wind generator in voltage dips.

Abstract

The  article  deals  with  the  voltage  quality  prob-lems that wind generation in distribution networks can produce to  the  loads  supplied  from  the  same  grid.  In  order  to  evaluate  and     quantify     these     problems,     simulations     with     the     PSCAD/EMTDC  software  package  have  been  carried  out  in  a  simplified  model  of  a  distribution  network  with  squirrel  cage  induction  wind  turbine  generators.  The  results  show  that  the  presence  of  the  wind  generators  increases  the  voltage  drop  and  prolongs the duration of a voltage dip.
