Abstract :
When large renewable energy sources (RES) are integrated into a power system, the dynamics and the operation of the network are affected. This paper studies the effect of variation in wind speed when a large wind power is integrated into the power system using fixed speed squirrel cage induction generator (SCIG). The wind farm is modelled with the commercially available software, PSCAD/EMTDC. Different scenarios are created to investigate how wind speed variability affects the operation of power system.
