Enhancing the Power Grid Performance by Integrating Wind Turbines Systems

The wind power generating systems integrated in Baghdad area are presented. The power control factors are discussed. The speed control factors are presented, correlated to electric generators types. A small grid prototype in the city of Baghdad, with a voltage of 11 kV, was selected. The system of wind turbines consists of five turbines, each of them having a power of up to 1 MW. The system performances were analyzed with Forward-Backward power flow method. The integration of renewable resources into grid system was analyzed considering two cases: without and with an electronic device interface (back to back converter). The voltage profile improvement and power losses decreasing when the wind turbines system is integrated into the grid through electronic controller system are presented as conclusions.
