Operation of Small Wind Turbines on a Distribution System. Executive Summary

摘要

This study has analyzed technical interconnection problems associated with the dispersed wind turbine (WT) application scenario: WTs connected on distribution systems producing ac power directly or dc power fed into an inverter, without storage systems, feeding back surplus power whenever the wind is blowing. Its specific objectives included analysis of: utility personnel safety; distribution system and WT protection equipment; WTs' effects on distribution feeder voltage and regulation equipment, and line losses; and development of a method to analyze utility load-frequency control problems with load patterns produced by customer demand and the WT's intermittent power output.
