Abstract :
In this work the impact of wind energy on the power flow is analyzed. After the development of a reduced sample network, possible network congestions are identified and the costs for the required redispatch of the generation are evaluated. To avoid or reduce the probability of congestions, different network upgrades can be installed. The efficiency of additional lines and power flow controlling devices is discussed on the basis of power flow calculations and dynamic simulations.
