Probabilistic analysis of isolated power systems with wind power penetration limitations

This paper deals with the probabilistic analysis of islanded power systems with connected wind parks comprised by variable speed-pitch controlled wind turbines. The analysis is based on actual load data available from measurements and takes into account the penetration constraints that rise from the conventional generation units and system's safe operation. A simple probabilistic approach is used in order to give a more completive picture about the repercussions from the connection of wind parks on the operation of isolated power systems than deterministic techniques.
