Large island grid (Cape Verde)

The modelled system (Fig. 1) is a large wind diesel system.

Fig. 1: Schematic view of the demonstration system.  

A power station, a wind farm and a dump load are both connected to the same busbar, feeding a radial distribution network. The network contains both consumer and transmission nodes.  

The power station is modeled as having four diesel gensets installed
