Wind power generation in the national power system

The paper presents the impact of wind power generation on the operation of the power system. The conditions for connecting wind power plants to the system are provided. The perspective of wind power plant development in the national power system is presented.Far-reaching development of the wind power stations at the national power system is given.
1. INTRODUCTION
In many parts of Poland, there are good conditions for wind power plants. In the coastal belt and in the north-eastern part of the country, wind conditions are very good.
Poland also has favorable conditions for the construction of large offshore wind farms.
In Poland, in the coming years, there will most likely be a dynamic development of wind energy. Currently, the share of electricity generated from wind power plants in the overall power balance is relatively small. In 2009, with a total electricity production of 150.9 TWh, the share of energy from wind power plants amounted to only
0.8 TWh.
Definitions [1]• Wind power unit (SW) is a single wind turbine with a generator and a transformer for medium voltage.
• Wind farm (FW) is a group of wind power plants forming a separate organizational entity (protection, control).
• Wind power plant (EW) is a large or medium-sized wind farm that has the capacity to provide regulatory services, which is limited by the specificity of wind as an energy source. (…)
