Improving the stability of the system west Algerian network (2012) by inserting renewable energy source

Abstract

This paper investigates the consequences of integration of solar photovoltaic and wind power generation on the voltage collapse and active losses using real network data. The west-Algerian network (2012) is selected for study and different cases have been simulated in MATLAB based PSAT toolbox. The simulation results show clearly the effect of Solar Photo-Voltaic Generation (SPVG) and Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) wind turbine on the power quality of electric power system.
