Owing to an increasing penetration of wind turbines and large wind farms in electrical power systems, the wind turbines start influencing the overall power system behaviour. Dynamic wind farm models for power system studies have been presented in Part 1 of the article. In this contribution, these models are applied in a number of case studies to determine the impact of wind farms on the power grid. Four turbine concepts are evaluated with respect to their grid interaction. Case studies involving normal behaviour, voltage dip behaviour, voltage control capability and behaviour during frequency deviations will be presented. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
