The power quality of wind turbines in Sout Africa and their impacts on distribution networks

This thesis describes an investigation into the power quality of wind turbines and the impacts this could have on distribution networks. The main focus is on voltage fluctuations and flicker as grid connected wind turbines could have a huge impact on these, especially when connected to weak distribution networks.
