Load Flow Analysis of Grid Connected Wind Farm

Abstract: Nowadays, the need for electrical energy is increasing day by day, which has made renewable energy sources more important. Among them, wind energy is widely used because it is clean and easily available. In this work, a grid- connected wind farm system is considered and its load flow behaviour is studied. The main aim is to observe how power is distributed in the system and to check voltage levels and losses under normal conditions. The modelling and simulation are carried out using Dig SILENT Power Factory software. The Newton-Raphson method is selected for analysis since it gives faster and reliable results. From the simulation, it can be observed that the system operates within acceptable limits. This kind of study helps in understanding the performance of wind farms and supports better integration with the power grid.
