INFLUENCE OF WIND POWER PLANTS ON POWER SYSTEM OPERATION - PART ONE: WIND POWER PLANT OPERATION AND NETWORK CONNECTION CRITERIA

For the purpose of a comprehensive review of power system operation with the connection of wind power plants, this review is presented in two articles. The first article presents the main concepts of wind power plants, technical possibilities of wind power plant operation and all requested criteria for connecting the wind power plant to the power system. In the second article the power quality after connecting wind power plant to the distribution network, energy losses in distribution network with connected wind power plant and feasibility and development of electrical energy production with wind power plants in the power system of the Republic Croatia are considered.Original Abstract: Zbog sveobuhvatnosti pregleda rada elektroenergetskog sustava s prikljucenim vjetroelektranama pregled se prikazuje u dva clanka. U prvom clanku prikazani su osnovni pojmovi o vjetroelektranama, tehnicke mogucnosti pogona vjetroelektrana i svi zahtijevani kriteriji prikljucenja vjetroelektrane na elektroenergetski sustav. U drugom clanku razmatra se kvaliteta elektricne energije nakon prikljucenja vjetroelektrane na distribucijsku mrezu, gubici energije u distribucijskoj mrezi s prikljucenom vjetroelektranom, te mogucnost proizvodnje i razvoj proizvodaje elektricne energije s vjetroelektranama u elektroenergetskom sustavu Republike Hrvatske.
