Wind Farm Connection to Serbian Distribution Network - Austere Quality Requirements vs. More Economical Power Distribution

摘要

The paper presents the effects of severe detnands on the quality of voltage that is raising the existing Serbian Technical recommendation no. 16. Possibilities of wind farm connection subject to the requirements in terms of voltage change in the transitional regime set by this document are described in details, and analyzed on the real demand of investors, which appeared in 2010. Improved Technical recommendation no. 16 whose adoption is expected, which is consistent with the application of technologically advanced wind generators and modern European standards on power quality of wind generators connected to the network, allows greater freedom of choice in terms of its possible connection to the network. Because of these facts, losses in the distribution network can be significantly smaller, with more economical electric power distribution. Conditions in terms of connecting specific wind farm were analyzed from the aspect of existing and updated recommendations, and its effects on energy efficiency are particularly emphasized.
