The Study of the Impacts Introduced by a Wind Farm, having Doubly Fed Induction Generators, on a Power System

Abstract

The paper discusses the 5th order model of a doubly fed induction generator which is used to study the impacts of a wind farm at the power system. The integration of wind farms poses serious problems on the stability of a power system. The study also illustrates the need for reactive power compensation when a wind generator is to be connected to a power system. A realistic 50 MW wind farm, proposed in the southern Sindh province of Pakistan, is being simulated to illustrate the dynamics of this integration on the national grid. This preliminary study assumes a constant wind speed for the duration of the studied period.
