Network Stability Under High Wind Power Penetration

This chapter addresses Network stability issues associated with high wind power penetration in a power system. Nowadays several countries and regions all over the world, either already operate under high wind power penetration or they have concrete plans to increase it. Thus, their grids and operation strategies should cope reliable with this wind penetration level. Some of the main identified solutions that will help the power systems to overcome the current network stability constraints are presented.
