Generation of electricity using diesel is costly for small remote isolated communities. At remote location electricity generation from renewable energy such as wind can help reduce the overall operating costs by reducing the fuel costs. Siting of wind turbines connected to diesel in a remote location effects wind penetration and power quality. In this paper we study how the location of a wind turbine effects the voltage in a remote wind-diesel system. We selected an isolated diesel system in Cartwright, Labrador, Canada. Four possible sites for a wind turbine are selected and for all four cases we study the voltage and frequency variations in the system due to addition of a wind turbine. Hybrid power system modeling and simulation results are presented in the paper. Results will be used to finalize the most suitable location of the wind turbine.
