SANTOS FUENTEFRIA, Ariel; CASTRO FERNANDEZ, Miguel    MARTINEZ GARCIA, Antonio. Wind Penetration with different wind turbine technologies in a weak grid. []. , 33, 2, pp. 143-155. ISSN 1815-5901.

The insertion of wind energy into electric network may provoke stability problems due to stochastic character of wind. The variation in the wind causes voltage variation in the Point of Common Coupling (PCC). In a weakest system that variation is high. Another important factor is wind turbine technology. The use of grid-connected fixed speed wind generator introduces a great consumption of reactive power that can be compensated using different devices as capacitors bank or static var compensator (SVC or STATCOM). In the other hand the variable speed wind turbine have an electronic converter to control the reactive consumption to maintain the PCC voltage more stable. In this paper a comparison between the different types of wind turbines technology is show. It's analyzing the impact in wind power limit for different wind turbine technologies in a weak system.
