OPERATION OF WIND FARMS TO DEFECTS IN THE MEDIUM VOLTAGE GRID

Abstract

Integrating wind power in medium voltage networks raise problems both economic and technical. The article presents a wind power plant integration in a medium voltage network and its operation in case of fault on other section than the line that wind power plant inject power. In the wind power plant is connected and compensator STATCOM for reactive power compensation. The wind power plant is equipped with squirrel cage induction generators.
