A survey report on issues of grid connected wind farm

Day by day increasing demand of electricity forces us to invent alternative sources for electricity generation leads to development of renewable energy sources. Among various alternative sources wind is gaining more attention due to its technical maturity and cost effectiveness. Integration of wind farm in grid causes adverse effect on grid leads to poor power quality and threat to power system security. Power quality is one of the key factors in today scenario because modern power electronics devices are very sensitive and poor power quality result in high cost & loss of consumer. This paper focuses on various issues which are responsible for poor power quality of grid Keywords—wind farm, Harmonics, flicker, power quality, FACTS
