Transient stability of induction generators in wind farm applications

Abstract

Power system stability issues are extremely important for safe and effective operation of the system. They can be categorized as rotor angle, frequency and voltage stability issues. Grid connection of new generators can have significant impact on overall system performance and stability. This paper presents investigation of a wind farm transient stability under symmetrical three phase fault conditions. Theoretical background of induction generator, its simulation model and dynamic response analysis procedure is discussed through a realistic wind farm connection example.
