Approach in the modeling of wind turbines for power system stability studies and evaluation of their impact on electric power systems

Abstract

Wind power - one the fastest evolving in renewable energy industry. From year to year the share of wind energy in power systems are increasing as well as increasing the size of wind farms. A large-scale wind farms that produce hundreds of megawatts of electricity have a serious impact on the power grid. This paper discusses proposed approaches to modeling wind farms using the Hybrid Real-Time Power System Simulator (HRTSim), to study stability and transient processes in electric power systems.
