Wind farm connection impacts on power distribution systems: A case study

The number of connection of Distributed Generators has increased over the last years, which demands the evaluation of the technical impacts in power distribution systems. Impact evaluation studies are needed in order to operate the system safely and deliver power with quality for the customers. This work presents an analysis of the connection of a wind farm at the subtransmission system of the State Company of Electrical Energy Distribution of Rio Grande do Sul (CEEE-D), south Brazil.
