Abstract

This paper presents the result of development wind farm as unpredictable renewable energy resource in radial distribution network. Wind farm consists of pitched regulated fixed-speed wind turbine which is developed in 24-hour forward-backward sweep load flow analysis. Through load flow analysis, some parameters of network such as voltage profiles, total real power fed of substation and total power loss are calculated for each internal period hour of day. Procedure for capacity allocation of wind farm is determined by both network and wind turbine characteristics for one hourly wind speed for one day. The proposed method is developed for one case-study using MATLAB^® software. The results are shown and compared in an abbreviated manner.
