Placement of DFIG power plants for Improving Static Voltage Stability

Renewable energies have seen a high penetration in the power system overall the world, in order to meet the growing needs for energy. This paper investigates the impact of increased penetration of wind farms on voltage stability and power losses in the power system. The optimal placement with different penetration rates of doubly fed Induction generator (DFIG) wind farms for improving voltage stability is studied using the continuation power flow technique. The proposed study is performed on IEEE 24-bus test system under Matlab Simulink Power System Analysis Toolbox (PSAT). The simulation results show that the integration of wind generation plants improves the power-system static voltage stability.
