Performance Analysis of Wind Turbine as a Distributed Generation Unit in Distribution System

In this paper, the performance analysis of wind turbine as a distributed generation unit is presented. In this study a model of wind power is driven by an induction machine. Wind power that is distributed generation is capable of supplying power to ac power distribution network. Wind power generation system is modeled and simulated using Matlab Simulink software such that it can be suitable for modeling some kind of induction generator configurations. To analyze more deeply the performance of the wind turbine system, both normal and fault conditions scenarios have been applied. Simulation results prove the excellent performance of the wind power unit under normal and fault conditions in the power distribution system.
