TLDR
The main problems of the connection of wind farms to the grid are reviewed and how the grid codes must be adapted in order to integrate wind power generation capacity without affecting the quality and stability of the grid.Abstract:
The increase of the wind power penetration in the electrical grids of Denmark, Germany, Spain and other countries and regions is challenging the stability of the system. The subject of this paper is to review the main problems of the connection of wind farms to the grid and how the grid codes must be adapted in order to integrate wind power generation capacity without affecting the quality and stability of the grid. This paper also summarizes the grid codes that have already been modified to incorporate high levels of wind power.read more
