Large induction motors in distributed wind power generation

Recently, the interest in the use of wind energy has increased considerably in the world´s energy markets. In the same way there is a visibly tendency in distributed generation due to market deregulation, technological advances, governmental incentives and environment impact concerns. Considering these facts, it is important to understand the different impacts of using wind generation on several technical issues. This work aims to study the behavior of induction generator based wind farms during the connection of large induction motors to the network. Moreover, the influences on voltage sag, (LVRT) capability and short circuit characteristic are discussed.
