Abstract :
A new system for studying power quality in wind energy conversion systems (WECS) has been designed using a data acquisition board (DAQ), LabVIEW programming software and a portable PC. The system has been installed at two wind turbines and at the power substation. Collected raw data are processed to get the main parameters of the system, power spectrums and dynamic response. The information obtained is completed with the data from a supply network analyser and from a data logger at the meteorological station
