Abstract: As a consequence of technological progress, wind power has emerged as one of the most promising renewable energy sources. Currently, the penetration level of wind energy in power systems has led to the modification of several aspects of power system behaviour including stability. Due to this large penetration, transmission system operators have established some special grid codes for wind farms connection. These grid codes require wind farms to provide ancillary services to the grid such as frequency regulation and reactive power regulation. In the near future, the capability of damping system oscillations will be required. For this reason, the influence of grid-connected wind farms on system oscillations is reviewed in this paper, focusing on the contribution or damping of power system oscillations, and on inner wind turbine oscillations.
