Abstract

Due to the continuous yearly increase in the Egyptian system electric load, in addition to the present days high price of the fuel, it is planned to exploit the renewable energy sources. A new wind farm of the power 2300 MW is planned to be erected in the year 2017 at Gabl El-Zite site on the red sea coast and it will be added with the present 517 MW connected farm located at Zaafrana site for feeding the system loads. In this paper the effect of the Zaafrana and Gabl El-Zait wind farms penetration on the Egyptian power system stability will be conducted. Also the effect of this penetration on the thermal limits of the system transmission system will be covered. The MATLAB-Simulink software package is used for carrying these studies.
