STUDY OF VOLTAGE COLLAPSE CHARACTIRISTICS IN GRID CONNECTED WIND POWER PLANT

Abstract

The scale of wind power plants is increasing continuously in Vietnam. The installed capacity of the largest wind farm is about 50MW by the end of this year. Therefore, power system planners will need to study their impact onthe power system in more detail. Wind energy conversion systems are very different in nature from conventional generators. Therefore dynamic studies must be addressed in order to integrate wind power into the power system. The impact of this wind power on voltage distribution levels has been addressed in the literatures. The majority of this work deals with the determination of the maximum active and reactive power that is possible to be connected on a system load bus, until the voltage at that bus reaches the voltage collapse point. This article introduces the methods of research standards, evaluation criteria of stable electricity supply; it identifies the centers of loads and focuses on the branch is "weak" in small signal stability to improve operational efficiency, reliability in electricity power supply.
