Impact of Increased Penetration of Fixed Speed Wind Generators on Power System Transient Stability

Abstract

The high penetration of wind power systems in the electrical network has introduced new issues in the stability and transient operation of the grid. This paper provides an assessment of wind power effects on the transient stability of a power system. The wind generators considered are the squirrel cage induction generator (SCIG), which is a fixed speed. The numerical simulations on the IEEE-30 bus test system are conducted to discuss the influence of penetration level of SCIG based wind generators on power system transient stability.
