Abstract

This paper analyses the influence of wind power on the small signal stability of a power system. Factors like power dispatch, generator technology, wind farm location and wind power integration level are considered. The oscillatory modes that arise as a result of changes in system operating conditions are computed using modal analysis. Participation factors are also calculated to determine the relative contribution of each system state variables to a certain mode. Time domain simulations are carried out to validate the conclusion inferred from the modal analysis
