Integrating Wind Energy To Smart Grids

Abstract

Today, the fact the most people consider is that energy is the most critical and significant subject for surviving our mankind. This paper illustrates the importance of smart grids to distribute electric energy systems for a better future and also shows the effects of renewable energy on it. Although it is a new issue, smart grid is far better and more productive than classical Electricity Transmission and Distribution Systems. The efficiency of this system can be picked up and surged by utilizing Renewable Energy Sources. The research which we worked on it, gives examples and explanations about integrating renewable energy sources to smart grid systems, especially wind turbines with different types of generators.

In this paper, the importance of wind power and wind turbines have been analyzed in terms of its different generator types and their efficiency and flexibility on smart grid systems. It is believed that by developing technology and smart power electronics’ systems, wind turbines would take a large place within new smart grid technologies. When the economical problems of wind turbines disappears, their usability is going to rise up day by day.

In this context of wind energy and smart grids, it has been seen that for providing more flexibility and a safer potentiality to control the whole electricity grid, will be an initial case for the future’s new technological systems. Renewable energy sources could easily supported by smart grids to control and make them more beneficial. Further studies will show us their benefits for sure.
