Dynamic response of a wind farm consisting of doubly-fed induction generators to network disturbance

Abstract

In this paper, the response of a wind farm consisting of doubly fed induction generators when a disturbance occurs on the network is studied. The disturbances include occurrence of fault on the network, the sudden change in load, loss of transmission line and loss of generation. The influence of generator inertial and fault location on the dynamics of the generator is also considered. First, the mathematical model comprising the variable speed wind conversion system is established. Based on this model, the simulation results describing the behaviour of a wind farm consisting of doubly fed induction generators to different network disturbances are presented.
