Abstract

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the impact of large scale wind power generation on both the dynamic voltage stability and the transient stability of electric power systems. The following problems have been analyzed: different penetration of wind power impact on transient stability and on voltage stability (dynamic voltage stability) following a major fault in the transmission system, determination of the acceptable wind power penetration level in power system without deteriorating both transient stability and voltage stability of the system. Moreover, the effect of SVC on the system stability is studied.
