Summary
Penetration of wind power plants in power systems is increasing, which can influence all over the system stability. In this paper, the impacts of variable speed wind turbines based on permanent magnet synchronous generator on transient stability of power systems are evaluated. An analytical method is investigated, and the rotor angle stability of synchronous generators is analyzed in the presence and absence of such wind turbines. Furthermore, it is elaborated under different conditions, eg, different penetration levels of wind power, different control modes of permanent magnet synchronous generator‐based wind turbines, and different distances of wind turbines from synchronous generators. Extensive simulations are carried out under abovementioned conditions, and the results are compared and discussed.
