The penetration of wind power in electrical power system is increased
rapidly. Most conventional wind farms are based on fixed speed
induction generators FSIG. So it is very necessary and important to
study the transient stability ofthe wind farms with FSIC. This paper
investigates the impacts of fault occurrence on the stability of wind farm
interconnected grid. The behavior of the wind farm during different fault
types such as single phase to ground fault, double phase to ground fault
and three phase to ground fault is studied. Also, the impacts of reactive
power compensator during steady state and fault state conditions are
studied. A simulation model of wind farm based on FSIG interconnected
grid and equipped with static synchronous compensator STATCOM are
developed by MATLAB-SIMULINK toolbox.
