  • First Online:
Wind Energy Conversion Systems

Part of the book series: Green Energy and Technology ((GREEN))

Abstract

Grid integration of wind power is one of the prime concerns as wind power penetration level is increasing continuously. New grid codes are being set up to specify the relevant requirements for efficient, stable, and secure operation of power system and these specifications have to be met in order to integrate wind power into the electric grid. This chapter discusses several issues of advanced grid codes relating to the wind turbines integration into power system. New grid codes for wind power integration of different countries are presented and compared. In India, share of wind power as percentage of installed generation capacity has exceeded 10% in many states and grid connection standards for wind power are in the process of establishment. Grid code requirements for wind power for Indian power sector have been suggested. System operational aspects of wind power generation with Indian experience have discussed.
