Abstract :
The power quality impact of a 2.5 MW wind park has been measured and analyzed. The turbines in the park operate at variable speed at low wind speeds and at fixed speed at higher wind speeds. The harmonic current injection is low and the calculated flicker contribution is seldom above 0.25. The wind park also has the potential to maintain the voltage on the supplying grid below a certain limit, in this case 11 kV
