Impact of Wind Power Plants on Voltage Control of Power System

Abstract

High penetration of renewable energy sources poses numerous challenges on stability and security of power systems. Wind power plants (WPPs) of considerable size when connected to a weak grid by long transmission line results in low short circuit ratio at the point of connection. This may result in both transient voltage fluctuations and poor steady-state voltage profile at the point of connection. In this paper, transient and steady-state voltage support from WPPs are investigated. Low voltage ride through capability of WPP is studied for two different control modes namely, V control and Q control, during transient voltage dips. Steady-state analysis is performed for stressed system conditions. Results are validated through simulation in a detailed power system model.
