Abstract :
Summary form only given. This paper presents the strategy used by Hydro-Québec TransÉnergie to carry out an exhaustive electromagnetic transient study of the utility´s transmission system in the Gaspé Peninsula where 1750 MW from wind generation will be integrated by 2015. This strategy consists of using the simulation tools and wind power plant models developed by the Institut de recherche d´Hydro-Québec in the last few years to model the system and re-engineer special protection systems.
