Abstract: The impact of large penetration of wind power on the transient stability of multi-machine power systems is discussed in this paper. Variable speed wind farms with doubly fed induction generators (DFIG) are considered. A new index based on the sensitivity of the DFIG terminal voltage is used to assess the transient stability margin of power systems, both for constant wind speed condition and during a sudden change in wind speed. Suitable locations for connecting the DFIG to an existing power system are identified with the help of this index. The effect of increase in wind power penetration on the transient stability condition of the existing power system is studied. The proposed index is also used to select the optimum crowbar resistance during fault ride-through operation.
