The Influence on Power System Loss from Large-Scale Wind Farm Integration

Abstract

Increasing penetration level of wind power integration has a significant impact on the operation of power system. Therefore, the study of the influence of the wind power on the loss of the power system has become an important issue of concern. A wind farm based on doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is molded to study the issue. The WSCC 3-machine 9-bus system is employed to analysis the influence of the wind power. The loss of each bus is estimate by simulation. The study shows that, for an actual power system the wind power capacity should be fixed by the practical situation to decrease the loss of the system.
