A Simulation Model for the Reliable Integration of a 4.5MW Wind Farm into the Power Grid of the Crete IslandA Simulation Model for the Reliable Integration of a 4.5MW Wind Farm into the Power Grid of the Crete Island Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2015-09-291990enThis paper describes a computer simulation model which has been developed to study the effects of integrating wind energy conversion systems (WECS) into autonomous power systems. The quality of the interconnected system performance is specified in terms of operational constraints. Load-flow and power-system-stability studies were preformed in order to evaluate the penetration impact of a 4·5 MW wind farm on the local grid fo Sitia-Crete. The results show that the above wind energy penetration level will not cause any problem to the existing electric power grid.Δημοσίευση σε διεθνές επιστημονικό περιοδικό http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/International Journal of Solar Energy39137-146 Kalaitzakis Kostas Καλαϊτζακης Κωστας Stavrakakis Georgios Σταυρακακης Γεωργιος Taylor & Francis simulation model WECS (Wind energy conversion systems) wind energy conversion systems wecs wind energy conversion systems autonomous power systems
