Abstract

With rapid development of wind power generation, large capacity wind farms are connected into the transmission system. Comparing with traditional power plant, the transient characteristics of transmission grid including wind farm are worthy investigating. The wind farm based-on wound rotor induction generators (WRIGs) shares high market occupancy in China, but academic researches on this grid-connected wind generation are few. So in this paper, the transient characteristics of the power system, adding a WRIGs wind farm and adding a traditional power plant, are compared. Effect of a WRIGs wind farm on transient performances of transmission grid is discussed. And the control effect on transient stability, when the WRIGs wind farm participating in system control during system fault, is investigated. Finally, simulation results are validated by using CIGREB4-39 grid. It is concluded that the transient performance of WRIGs wind farm is better than that of traditional power plant.
