In the past few years, increased penetration of wind energy has made more disturbances into electrical power systems. The proper integration of wind turbine models within power system simulations is of great importance for analysis of wind energy penetration and power system performance. This thesis analyzes the impacts of the connection of wind turbines on the operations of weak electric distribution systems. Using an actual feeder located in a rural area, the effects on the voltage profile caused by variable-speed wind turbines are compared to those caused by fixed-speed wind turbines. Simulations are conducted by using the developed models in Matlab/Simulink Keywords: Wind energy, Variable-speed turbines, Fixed-speed turbines
