Study of the connection of a wind farm in Wales

Abstract

The objective of this project is to study the connection of a wind farm to the electric grid of Wales. This report also contains all the information necessary to understand the calculations made and know where they come theoretically. This document would include the study of how a wind turbine works, the elements those compose it, its principle of operation as well as different kinds of existing generators. Having explained this, this project will focus on the study of the connection of a concrete wind farm to the electric network of Wales. In one hand also will be described the connection requirements and performance that must meet the wind farm. In the other hand, this dissertation will try to characterize the interaction of a wind power park via a digital simulation (Matlab- Simulink).
