Abstract

The wind energy generation, utilization and its grid penetration in electrical grid are increasing worldwide. The wind generated power is always fluctuating due to its time varying nature and causing stability problems. This weak interconnection of wind generating source in the electrical network affects the power quality and reliability. The influence of the wind turbine in the grid system concerning the power quality measurements are the active power, reactive power, variation of voltage, flicker, harmonics, and electrical behavior of switching operation and these are measured according to national international guidelines. This paper's objective is to analyze modern techniques used for mitigation of power quality issues that arise due to the penetration of wind energy into the distribution grid.
