This report summarizes the primary results of a three-part study involving the effects of connecting a MOD-OAwind turbine generator to an isolated diesel power system. The subject utility is that owned and operated by the Block Island Power Company (BIPCO). The MOD-OAinstallation here was the third of four experimental nominal 200 kW wind turbines connected to various utilities under the Federal Wind Energy Program. The BIPCO installation was characterized by the highest wind energy penetration levels of the four sites and, as such, was adjudged the best candidate for conducting the data acquisition and analysis effort that is the subject of this study.The three-phases of the study analysis address: 1) fuel displacement,2) dynamic interaction, and 3) three modes of reactive power control. These analyses all have as their basis the results of the data acquisition program conducted during 1982 from February into April on Block Island, Rhode Island.
