Zusammenfassung:There is an unprecedented growth of wind power generation in India and consequent increase in the penetration level in Indian power system. High penetration of WPG in grid with improved reliability and security is possible when these generators follow Indian Electric Grid Codes (IEGC) enforced since 2010. The requirements for frequency and active and reactive power control are well documented in IEGC. This paper presents the salient features of Indian grid codes for wind power generation and then compares IEGC with grid codes of other countries where wind power penetration has reached higher levels. A comparison of IEC 61400 standard for connection interface for distributed generators and IEGC reveals that IEGC has spelt the code in the minutest details for the current status of wind power sector in India.
