This thesis describes the dynamic characteristcs of different types of wind turbines in the power grid.
Its purpose is to offer an overview on wind energy generation with an emphasis on the impact of wind generation on the power system stability.
The work describes the basic mechanical principles of fixed-speed induction generators, doubly fed induction generators and fully rated converter wind turbines using synchronous generators, their tranzient performance and damping.
Also presented, is the power system stabilazer, which offers additional control on power system performance.
The impact of different types of wind turbines on the network tranzient stability and damping is also shown in a generic test network.
Generators behave differently based on their capacity. All generators are stable at low capacities. Induction generator and fully rated converter wind turbine using synchronous generator are unstable at high capacities. Power system stabilizer improves the stability of bot
