Comparison of European Interconnection and Operation Requirements for Wind Farms

Abstract

The necessity to provide clean energy, along with the latest technology developments in the eld of wind turbines, have been re ected by building bigger wind farms. This, combined with the integrated operation be tween wind farms and the grid, involves all the electric sys tem a ecting di erent aspects as transitory stability, volt age regulation, energy reserve management and the electric market. Most UE transmission system operators (TSO) have responded introducing technical regulations for wind farm interconnections. The present paper presents a com parison of some European grid codes for wind farms (WF), and their operative implications.
