We analyzed a power system network, which consisted of two types of power generation: wind turbine generation and diesel generation. The power quality and the interaction of diesel generation, the wind turbine, and the local load were the subjects of investigation. From an energy-production point of view, having as much wind energy production as possible to save fuel consumption and reduce pollution is important. From a customer's point of view, power quality is important. The purpose of this paper is to show the impact of the wind power plant on the entire system. Also, we discuss how the startup of the wind turbine and the transient condition during load changes affects the voltage and frequency in the system.
