Abstract: In response to the power impact effect resulting from merging large-scale offshore wind farms (OWFs) into the Taiwan Power (Taipower) Company (TPC) system in the future, this study aims to discuss the situation where the offshore wind power is merged into the power grids of the Changbin and Changlin areas, and study a Low-Voltage Ride-Through (LVRT) curve fit for the Taiwan power grid through varying fault scenarios and fault times to reduce the effect of the tripping of OWFs on the TPC system. The Power System Simulator for Engineering (PSS/E) program was used to analyze the Taipower off-peak system in 2018. The proposed LVRT curve is compared to the current LVRT curve of Taipower. The research findings show that if the offshore wind turbine (OWT) set uses the proposed LVRT curve, when a fault occurs, the wind turbines can be prevented from becoming disconnected from the power grid, and the voltage sag amplitude of the connection point during the fault and the disturbances after the fault is cleared are relatively small. In addition, according to the transient stability analysis results, the system can return to stability after fault clearance, thereby meeting the Taipower transmission system planning criteria and technical key points of renewable energy power generation system parallel connection technique.
