Abstract:
In modern, stressed distribution system, voltage stability is a major concern
from planning and operation perspectives. Remote wind farm connected to a
weak distribution system through a long line could adversely affect the voltage
stability of the respective distribution network. This paper investigates the transient
and steady-state voltage issues of a distribution network with a distant
doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind farm. Results show that a
distant DFIG-based wind farm could improve the voltage stability of a distribution
network with a large motor load in steady-state operating condition as well
as following disturbances, like three-phase faults, sudden load tripping, and
motor starting.
