Methodology for optimal bus placement to integrate wind farm optimizing power flows

This paper proposes an alternative algorithm to locate the optimal bus placement to integrate wind farms based on the criterion of minimizing the electrical losses using the solution of the power flow problem to identify the best connection point. The wind farm is modeled as a negative load being possible to connect this power generation to the possible connection buses and obtaining the power flow solution for each different connection point as a generation change or displacement. The IEEE 14, 30 and 57 bus test systems have been used to validate the proposed methodology. The results have shown the optimal bus among a possible set of them that causes minimum losses when a wind farm is integrated to it.
