Impact of large scale wind power on power system stability

The amount of wind power constantly increased during recent years requiring detailed analysis about the impact of wind power on system security and system operation. Therefore several wind impact studies have been carried out recently in different countries. The findings of these studies are usually related to a superposition of different aspects of wind power, such as the fluctuating nature, distributed location of wind farms, generator technologies, generator control etc. and predict required network reinforcements, additional reserve requirements, etc. This paper is focusing on transient stability issues and analyses the impact of various aspects like generator technology, connection points, distributed generation etc. separately for getting a thorough understanding about the impact of these aspects on transient stability.
