Abstract

To know the inherent property of the power system connected with a wind farm along with its associated controllers, a small signal stability study is required. For this, a linearized system model has to be developed. The small signal model of the system with wind farm along with its controllers is discussed here. The eigenvalues of system matrix are computed from the linearized model of the power system. The absolute value of the real part of eigenvalues indicates distance from instability. The sensitivity of this minimum real part of eigenvalues with respect to small changes of wind power injection is used as an index to assess the small signal stability under various operating conditions. The optimum value of the wind power can also be determined with the help of the proposed eigenvalue sensitivity index. The systems used for the study are WSCC 3-machine 9-bus system and IEEE 16-machine 68-bus system.
