Abstract
AbstractIn 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.
Highlights
In countries like Australia large mining loads, agro farms, etc., are generally located far from distribution load center, maybe near the area of wind power potential
When a wind farm is integrated at the end of a distribution feeder with such large motor loads and existing residential customers, steady-state and transient voltage stability of the respective power network are affected
Bus voltage analysis and P-V characteristic are studied with and without remote doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind farm to observe the effect of the wind farm in the steady-state voltage stability of a weak distribution system
Summary
In countries like Australia large mining loads, agro farms, etc., are generally located far from distribution load center, maybe near the area of wind power potential. Paper [8] has studied the voltage stability and grid loss-related issues of a distribution system with DFIG-based wind farm for heavy unbalanced loading conditions.
