Use of DFIWG for Improvement of Voltage Stability Condition of a Power System

This paper describes a method for improvement of voltage stability condition of a multi-bus power system by regulating reactive power generation at a Doubly Fed Induction Wind Generator (DFIWG). For this purpose, sensitivity relation between changes in voltage stability index at a bus with respect to change in reactive power generation of the DFIWG is derived. This relation is used to determine the required amount of change in rotor current of the DFIWG to improve the voltage stability index of the bus.
