Abstract

This paper investigates the impacts of the fault ride through on thestability of fixed speed wind farm interconnected grid. The effect of faultlocation and its duration time are studied for different fault types. Thecontribution of Static Synchronous Compensator STATCOM to supportthe fixed-speed wind farm interconnected electric grid during differentfault locations and different fault durations are investigated. Simulationtest cases using MATLAB-Simulink are implemented on a 9 MW windfarm exports a power to 120 KV grid. The simulation results show theinfluence of fault location and its duration on the active power, reactivepower, and bus voltage of the wind farm
