Voltage phase angle variation in relation to wind power

Monitoring of some of the effects of wind power on the transmission grid is possible from 120 V wall outlet measurements. The penetration levels of wind power are reflected in synchronized phasor measurements taken by the independent synchrophasor network located at the University of Texas at Austin. The independent synchrophasor network is unique because it takes single-phase synchronized voltage phasor measurements from 120 V wall outlets. These measurements are shown to be suitable for observing some of the effects of wind power penetration on power system parameters such as the voltage phase angle. This is the beginning of research on the topic of quantifying the effects of wind power on the grid as seen in Texas Independent Synchrophasor Network measurements.
