Abstract Power quality of grid connected wind turbine is a concept to characterize an essential set of parameters that determine the impact of such wind turbines on the voltage quality of an electric power network. It applies to both transmission and distribution networks, but is far more essential for the latter which are more susceptible to voltage fluctuations. Considering the frequently occurrence of power quality problems in the distribution systems, in addition to the new trend for using wind turbines as a new distributed generators (DGs), the power quality analysis of the distribution system considering wind turbine DGs become imperative importance. In this thesis it is introduced a comprehensive study of the power quality problems for radial distribution systems with embedded wind turbine distributed generators. Proposed solutions for the founded problems have been introduced. The major contributions of the thesis can be summarized as, · Comprehensive investigation of the power quality problems for distribution systems with embedded wind turbine distributed generators have been carried out. The steady state voltage profile of the distribution system with different penetration ratios of wind turbine DGs and connection points is investigated. Voltage sag, voltage swell and voltage interruption during load variations and system disturbances are considered. Also, voltage fluctuation and flicker resulting from the wind speed variation and load variations are investigated. Furthermore, the harmonic distortion supplied by the wind turbine DGs and the nonlinear loads are investigated. · A proposed analytical technique, based on new power loss formula, for optimal wind turbine DGs placement on radial distribution systems is introduced. The introduced analytical technique can overcome the defects of other analytical methods. Furthermore, a large reduction in the computation time, as compared with the other presented methods, has been achieved. The introduced technique is applied to the 33-bus and the 69-bus balanced distribution systems. A modification to the introduced analytical technique for wind turbine DGs optimum placement on unbalanced distribution systems is introduced and applied to the 25-bus unbalanced distribution system.
