This paper assesses the connection of a large wind farm to a regional power system with a weak link to the main transmission grid. The study demonstrates that utilization of modern wind turbine technology and automatic generation control schemes allow operation of large wind farms in weak grids. In the case study considered of a regional power system, the viable wind farm capacity may be increased from 50 to 200 MW.
