1. Introduction
Presence of wind energy in the generation share has been continuously increasing during last years.
IN SPAIN:
• During 2008, wind energy sharing was 11%.
• In 22th/jan/2009, new records of energy generation were reached: 11.074 MWh and 234.059 MWh/day.
• Installed capacity at the end of 2007 was 15.131 MW, 30% higher than the previous year.
IN OTHER COUNTRIES:
• At the end of 2007, wind energy sharing was 21,3% in Denmark and 11.7 % in E.U.
• In E.U., installed capacity has grown from 4.753 MW in 1997 to 56.535 MW in 2007.

2. Flicker and wind energy
Grid codes take into account take into account the possibility of flicker emissions from wind plants. So, certain technical requirements are imposed:
IN SPAIN:
Royal Decree 661/2007: REAL DECRETO 661/2007 installed capacity will be less than a 5% of the short circuit power in the point of connection to the transmission network.
Standard organisations also consider this problem. There are specifics standards regarding to flicker and wind energy.
IEC:
IEC 61400-21 Wind turbines – Part 21: Measurement and assessment of power quality characteristics of grid connected wind turbines
(In Spain: UNE-EN 61400-21)

3. Flicker estimationIEC 61400-21 proposes a method to estimate flicker emission of wind farms.
Flicker estimation is done by mean of simulation where current measurements from a wind turbine are injected in a virtual network.

Flicker estimation is done by using the called “flicker coefficient” c calculated for each wind turbine.
From flicker coefficients, the total flicker Pst,Σ emitted for a wind farm is estimated.

7. Conclusions
- In this paper, a method to evaluate flicker based in IEC 61400-21 is presented. The current measurement values used in this standard have been replaced for a complete WTG model. - Oscillating power components (shadow tower, wind shear...) has been included in order to obtain results that are more realistic.-WTG models have been validated by comparing the simulation results with the measured data.
The proposed method allows calculating of flicker emission in single WTG or wind farms at different working conditions.
