Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>SUMMARY</title> <p>Higher penetration of distributed generation in distribution systems makes the islanding operation more realistic. In this paper, an adequacy assessment is presented in the presence of wind energy sources in distribution system for an islanded area. Wind speed simulation is performed using auto‐regressive moving average time series. For adequacy assessment, well‐being indices are introduced and calculated for an islanded area through an islanding algorithm. Then, sensitivity analysis is conducted to investigate the dependency of well‐being indices on key parameters of analysis. Finally, the results are presented and discussed.
