Effect of Large-Scale Wind Power Integration on Inter-Area Oscillation of Power System
With the fast development of the wind power, security constraints of power systems have become the bottleneck of the acceptable capacity for wind power. The underdamping oscillation modes of the inter-area is an important aspect of the constraints. In this paper, an equivalent model of a power system with wind plants has been established, and the impact of the integration of the large-scale wind power on the inter-area oscillation modes has been studied based on the frequency-domain and time-domain simulations. The results indicate that the damping of inter-area oscillation mode can be enhanced by the replacement of synchronous generators (SGs) with the wind generators. The enhancing degree is up to the participation value of the SGs replaced. The conclusion has been verified by the actual system example of Xinjiang-Northwest grid. It can provide a reference for system programming and operation.
