Abstract

This paper deals with the voltage stability analysis of wind power systems subjected to gradual parameter variation, such as load variation using bifurcation theory, in which the system is studied by the eigenvalues of the linearized system differential-algebraic equations (DAE). It is shown using a single induction generator connected to the grid how the loadability curves (nose curves) can characterize the maximum load that can be installed before the voltage collapse occurs. This is an important contribution in the emerging field of wind generation connected to the main power system network, in particular its impact on the stability of the system due to the dynamic characteristics of wind generation.
