A Study on Small Signal Stability of the Large-Scale Wind Farm with DFIGs

Abstract:

The high penetration of doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) entails a change in dynamics and operational characteristics of the power system, thus this paper investigates the small signal stability of the large-scale wind farm with DFIGs. The GE 1.5MW DFIG is modeled in power system analysis software package (PSASP), and a large-scale wind farm with DFIGs is established. Then, the two-area test system with four generators is applied to assess the effect of the large wind farm on power system inter-area oscillatory mode in which the penetration and the installation site of the wind farm are considered. Finally, the simulation results indicate that abundant penetration of DFIG-based wind power will improve the inter-area oscillatory, and the integration of wind farms with DFIGs in the receiving area makes the inter-area mode highly damped.
