Overview: The objective of the Costa Rica grid feed-in study is to determine the effect of an increasing amount of wind power on the stability of the high voltage grid of Costa Rica. There is some concern about the effect of fluctuating wind power on the frequency and voltage variations of the grid. Especially the loss of a large amount of wind power in a very short time, 30 seconds to a few minutes, is expected to result in a frequency control problem. This study intends to quantify this problem.
