Abstract Electricity is in high demand with a fast-growing population; hence it is advisable to turn towards green energy. In this research, Wind Turbine (WT) is modelled with two different types of induction generators (IGs), which are the Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) and Squirrel-Cage Induction Generator (SCIG) and implemented to IEEE 9-Bus system to assess the transient stability. MATLAB/ Simulink R2019a platform was considered to carry the whole examination. DC1A excitation system was applied to Synchronous Generators (SGs) as well as Power System Stabilizer (PSS). The transmission line7-5 was found to suffer from a high peak value of a relative power angle of approximately 130 degrees. As for the settling time, without PSS it was 20.69 s and with PSS it became 6.23 s. A wind farm with a rated capacity of 60 MW was used in the system. WT integrated with DFIG has the lowest peak value of 127 degrees at Bus locations 4 and 5 and for SCIG, Bus 5 with a peak value of 136 degrees. Thus, it can be propelled as the perfect location. Moreover, this is due to the three-phase fault was located at the transmission line7-5 which is far away from Buses 4 and 5. In the end, the WT integrated with DFIG provides a lower peak value of relative power angle compared to SCIG, whereas for settling time, it is the opposite.

Low voltage ride through capability is an ability of the wind farm to stay connected with grid at the time of disturbance in the power system. The penetration of wind based renewable energy resources is increasing and the low voltage ride through consideration is vital for systems studies. The literature available demonstrates the improvement in low voltage ride through either by using fault current limiters or by implementing a control strategy for induction generator based wind farms. In this paper the low voltage ride through capability enhancement of the fixed speed induction generator is presented with various fault current limiters. The authors have presented the effects of fault current limiters in the aggregated hybrid wind farm consisting the combination of fixed speed induction generators and doubly fed induction generators which is not available in literature so far. A transient fault is simulated using PSCAD/EMTDC software in both the cases and the results are presented and discussed.

Dynamic voltage instability is one of the new problems with the fast development of wind farm clusters. This text is about the improvement of voltage stability of weak grid connected with wind turbine generators (WTGs). It focuses on the control strategy and mode of WTGs and dynamic reactive compensators during disturbance. Firstly, in order to propel WTGs outputting reactive power, the active control mode regarding both doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) and permanent magnetic synchronous generators (PMSGs) is given. Secondly, the method of installing SVC at the terminal of part of WTGs is proposed. The selection of WTGs to install SVC is based on the sensitivity analysis. Thirdly, a coordinating method of various reactive sources is discussed. Finally, the comprehensive control logic under time series is listed. The simulation validates the methods above.

Squirrel-cage induction generator (SCIG) has been widely utilized in large wind farms in China. However, the large wind farm composed of induction generators will cause obvious power system stability problems due to the dependency on reactive power. Doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) has excellent dynamic characteristics of wind farm operations. With the increasing of wind power penetration in power systems, more and more wind farms use both SCIG and DFIG. This paper firstly analyzes the the dynamic characteristic of wind farm on power systems, especially in terms of the voltage stability. Then the interaction between the SCIGs and DFIGs is also investigated. A detailed simulation model of wind farms is presented by means of MATLAB. The simulation results demonstrate that the DFIG applications will improve the voltage stability of the wind farm largely and the low voltage ride through characteristics of SCIG to some extend.

The increasing penetration of wind energy to the conventional power system due to the rapid growth of energy demand has led to the consideration of different wind turbine generator technologies. In fault conditions, the frequency of the power system decreases and eventually leads to speed differences between the grid and the interconnected wind generator. This can result to power system problems such as transient instability (TS). This paper focuses on enhancing the TS of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based power system during 3ph fault conditions using FACTS devices. The power system considered is connected to a large wind farm which is based on PMSG. Critical clearing time (CCT) is used as an index to evaluate the transient state of the system. Under the study of an IEEE-14 bus system using PSAT as a simulation tool, the integrated CCT with PMSG-based wind turbine is improved with three independent FACTS devices. One of the synchronous generators in the test system has been replaced at random with the PMSG-based wind turbine which is meant to generate an equivalent power. Time domain simulations (TDSs) were carried out considering four study cases. Simulation results show that the (CCT) of the system with the FACTS devices is longer than the CCT without them, which is an indication of TS improvement.

The penetration level of large-scale wind farms into power systems has been increasing significantly, and the frequency stability and transient stability of the power systems during and after a network fault can be negatively affected. This paper proposes a new control method to improve the stability of power systems that are composed of large wind farms, as well as usual synchronous generators. The new method is a coordinated controlling method between an adjustable-speed pumping generator (ASG) and a battery. The coordinated system is designed to improve power system stability during a disconnection in a fixed-rotor-speed wind turbine with a squirrel cage-type induction generator (FSWT-SCIG)-based wind farm due to a network fault, in which a battery first responds quickly to the system frequency deviation due to a grid fault and improves the frequency nadir, and then the ASG starts to supply compensatory power to recover the grid frequency to the rated frequency. The performance of the proposed system was confirmed through simulation studies on a power system model consisting of usual synchronous generators (SGs), an ASG, a battery, and an SCIG-based wind farm. Simulation results demonstrated that the proposed control system can enhance the stability of the power system effectively.
