The development of wind energy resources as wind turbine grid tied using SCIG in Bantul South Java Island

The development of wind energy resources as grid tied wind turbine in Indonesia is presented. There are 35 locations that are feasible to develop as wind farm which have wind speed higher than 5 m/s and wind power density above 150 W/m² at 50 m elevation. To investigate the impact of wind farm grid tied to the existing power system, a simulation study of 50 MW SCIG was done in Bantul which is located in south Java Island. Simulation results show that wind turbine generation provided a good influence to increase the bus voltage and power loss reduction in existing electric power system. With the capacity factor of 30%, annual energy production is about 32,734.02 MWh.
