Abstract

The dynamic stability of a single wind-turbine generator, supplying an infinite bus through a transmission line, is considered under widely varying loading conditions. A linearized model of the system is developed and used in the analysis. Loading conditions are varied over a wide range and a parametric eigenvalue analysis is conducted. The system's dominant modes of oscillation are identified and displayed in the complex s-plane for the entire loading range considered. Several cases are examined and conclusions are drawn as to the effects of the system and control parameters on the dynamic stability of the wind-turbine generator. Results obtained from a digital simulation of the system, for pseudo-typical wind gusts, are also included for comparative purposes.
