The Impact of Wind Power Implantation in Transmission Systems

AbstractThe use of renewable energy sources in world will increase, leading to a more sustainable energy mix, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and a lower dependency from oil. Wind power is one of the renewable energy sources that have virtually no environmental problems; it is one of the fastest growing sources of energy in the world. In industry, the wind power creates new jobs, encourages innovation. Most research on wind power has been concerned with producing electricity. This effort restarted in the United States in the early 1970s. However, the largest disadvantage of wind energy is the lack of exact predictability and its fluctuations, which are causing problems in the power flow of transmission system when the weak nature of the grid in remote areas and the uncertainty of wind are taken into consideration
