Wind farm--A power source in future power systems

Z. Chen and F. Blaabjerg

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2009, vol. 13, issue 6-7, 1288-1300

Abstract: The paper describes modern wind power systems, introduces the issues of large penetration of wind power into power systems, and discusses the possible methods of making wind turbines/farms act as a power source, like conventional power plants in power systems. Firstly, the paper describes modern wind turbines and wind farms, and then introduces the wind power development and wind farms. An optimization platform for designing electrical systems of offshore wind farms is briefed. The major issues related to the grid connection requirements and the operation of wind turbines/farms in power systems are illustrated.
