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.

Power system inertia is being reduced because of the increasing penetration of renewable energies, most of which use power electronic interfaces with the grid. This paper analyses the contribution of inertia emulation and droop control to the power system stability. Although inertia emulation may appear the best option to mitigate frequency disturbances, a thorough analysis of the shortcomings that face real-time implementations shows the opposite. Measurement noise and response delay for inertia emulation hinder controller performance, while the inherently fast droop response of electronic converters provides better frequency support. System stability, expressed in terms of rate of change of frequency (ROCOF) and frequency nadir, is therefore improved with droop control, compared to inertia emulation.

Power systems have developed significantly because of the increasing share of renewable energy sources (RESs). Despite the advantages, they also bring inevitable challenges to power system stability, especially under extreme fault conditions. This paper presents a practical active support control strategy for RESs to support the power grid under extreme fault conditions. The proof process is taken in an AC-DC hybrid power grid integrated with large capacity of PV stations and wind farms. The on-site engineering test results reflect that RESs bring potential risks in the AC-DC hybrid power grid operation and validate the excellent engineering practical features of the proposed control strategy. In addition, test results also reveal predisposing factors of power system instability which are missing in the simulation and fault simulation device-based testing results. They prove the outstanding advantages of on-site engineering tests.

Power system stability is related to principles of rotational motion and the swing equation governing the electromechanical dynamic behavior. In the special case of two finite machines the equal area criterion of stability can be used to calculate the critical clearing angle on the power system, it is necessary to maintain synchronism, otherwise a standard of service to the consumers will not be achieved. With the increasing penetration of doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs), the impact of the DFIG on transient stability attracts great attention. Transient stability is largely dominated by generator types in the power system, and the dynamic characteristics of DFIG wind turbines are different from that of the synchronous generators in the conventional power plants. The analysis of the transient stability on DFIG integrated power systems has become a very important issue. This paper is a review of three types of stability condition. The first type of stability, steady state stability explains the maximum steady state power and the power angle diagram. There are several methods to improve system stability in which some methods are explained.

Squirrel-cage induction generator (SCIG), as its structural and economic advantages, has been widely utilized in large wind farms in China. However, the large wind farm composed of induction generators will cause obvious problems to the power system stability due to the dependency on reactive power. At the same time, Doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG), as a new type of wind turbine generator, has excellent dynamic characteristics for operation of wind farms. With the increase in penetration of wind power in power systems, more and more wind farms will use both SCIG and DFIG. In this case, the dynamic characteristic of wind farm on power systems is becoming an important issue especially in terms of the voltage stability. This article is to show by means of simulations the dynamic performance of wind farm linked to power system under the circumstances of network disturbances. Furthermore, the interaction between the SCIGs and DFIGs has also been investigated. A detailed model of wind farms is presented through the plat root of MATLAB/SIMULINK. The simulation results demonstrate that the DFIG applications will largely improve the dynamic performance of wind farm in certain conditions, if the DFIGs could be applied reasonably, the voltage stability of the wind farm will be largely improved and even low voltage ride through(LVRT) characteristic of SCIGs, which may be a good solution to reduce the high dependence of costly reactive power compensation equipment(Some flexible AC transmission systems devices like SVC, STATCOM) to some extent.

The use of wind energy is increased due to the high demand for sustainable energy. The penetration of wind energy in electrical networks might have several effects on load flow and power system stability. In this research, the transient stability of the IEEE 9-Bus system integrated with Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) is analyzed. Additionally, different penetration levels of a wind farm are considered. With a 5% penetration of wind energy, the maximum power angle of the synchronous generator is around 129 deg, which is quite similar to the existing system. In contrast, the power angle increases to 140 deg after adding more wind turbines with 15% wind farm penetration. Then, the system loses stability with a 25% penetration of wind energy. The results indicate that the high penetration of wind energy has a destabilizing impact on the studied network. Moreover, the location of the wind farm affects transient stability. This research intends to contribute towards assessing the stability of the power system integrated DFIG. Hence, this study will support the increase of using wind energy in power systems rather than conventional power plants and evaluate the stability to enable the reliability of alternative energy sources in the grid.

It is critical for today's power system to remain in a state of equilibrium under normal conditions and severe disturbances. Power imbalance between the load and the generation can severely affect system stability. Therefore, it is necessary that these imbalance conditions be addressed in the minimum time possible. It is well known that power system frequency is directly proportional to the speed of rotation of synchronous machines and is also a function of the active power demand. As a consequence, when active power demand is greater than the generation, synchronous generators tends to slow down and the frequency decreases to even below threshold if not quickly addressed. One of the most common methods of restoring frequency is the use of under frequency load shedding (UFLS) techniques. In this chapter, load shedding techniques are presented in general but with special focus on UFLS.

The stability of the control grid is a critical prerequisite for a safe and efficient power system service. A thorough knowledge of the effects of the power system volatility is essential for the effective study and control of power systems. This paper presents the simulation outcome of a multimachine power network implemented by a wind farm (WF) utilizing a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) for better stability control objectives. A similarly aggregated double-fed induction generator (DFIG) powered by a gearbox analogy with an equally aggregated wind turbine (WT) determines the operating output of the wind farm. A proportional–integral–derivative controller (PID)-based damping controller, PID including Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC), and an adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) controller of the proposed SATCOM are intended to add sufficient damping properties to the dominating modes of the examined system during diverse working circumstances. To assess the feasibility of the suggested control schemes, a frequency-domain method concentrated on a linearized mathematical structure layout utilizing a time-domain strategy centered on a nonlinear configuration of the device that is subjected to severe fault on the attached bus was carried out consistently. A STATCOM damping controller is configured using the ANFIS method to apply appropriate damping properties to the device’s decisive modes being evaluated under various test conditions. From the findings of the comparative simulation, it can be inferred that the suggested STATCOM along with the planned ANFIS is seen as comparable to STATCOM with PID and STATCOM with PID plus FLC to increase the stability of the studied device.
