چکیده

Introduction Widespread development in utilizing renewable energy resources such as solar, marine, biomass, geothermal and wind for electricity generation is become inescapable newly. Wind energy has the most contribution for power generation among different renewable energy resources; this is so because of its potential advantageous such as free availability of wind, ability to exploit in high power, other land around uses of wind farms and as the important one it is relatively inexpensive to build wind farm [1]. Targets in Europe and the US in 2007 for wind installation will meet 20% of their electricity consumptions by 2030 [2]. Application of this amount of wind power in electrical power systems requires more accuracy and attention. Great information about large integration of wind plants, impacts on power system and deregulated systems has been given by [3]. With introduction of new generation concepts such as Doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) with different dynamics of synchronous generators, the stability of power system is confronted to new challenges. When the contribution of DFIGs in power system is in small scale, the stability of power system is affected lowly. On the contrary, with high penetration of DFIG-based wind farms in the power system, the dynamic performance of the grid can be affected significantly by the characteristics of the DFIGs. The transient stability of power systems integrated with DFIGs is investigated in several papers [4,5]. The increased integration of DFIG-based wind farms in power systems can have both beneficial and detrimental effects on small signal stability and transient stability [6]. The safe application without reducing stability of DFIGs equipped with power electronic converter and Low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability in a weak grid is demonstrated in [7]. The relation between reactive power control of DFIGs and the rotor angles of synchronous generators in a large-scale power system is addressed in [8]. Reduction in reactive power absorption of DFIGs can diminish reactive power injection by the synchronous generators and helps mitigation large rotor angle swings. Since that rotor speed of DFIG-based wind turbine changes to extract maximum energy from wind, the LVRT enhancement gains the most attention. In a power system with wind farms, faults even far away from the location of wind farms can cause voltage dips in the terminals of wind turbine. The current in the stator windings of DFIG will increase rapidly after voltage dip in the Point of common coupling (PCC). The magnetic coupling between stator and rotor of induction generator in DFIG causes to flow a current in the rotor circuit. As a result, the overcurrent will be seen in power electronic converter, which may destroy the converter.
