Abstract: Renewable electricity sources are now widely used worldwide. Currently, the most common sources are those that use energy contained in biomass, water, sun, and wind. When connected to a medium-voltage grid, individual wind power plants must meet specific conditions to maintain electricity quality. This article presents field study results on the impact of switching operations (turning the power plant on and off) at a 2 MW Vestas V90 wind turbine on the voltage parameters at the connection point of a farm located 450 m from the source. The analysis showed that the wind turbine under study significantly affects customers’ voltage near the source, causing it to increase by approximately 2.5%. Sudden cessation of generation during the afternoon peak causes a 3% voltage fluctuation, potentially affecting equipment sensitive to rapid voltage changes.
