Transient stability analysis of grid with DFIG wind power plant

Transient stability is one of the major stability problem associated with the power grid. Hence analysis of transient stability is a major analysis done to obtain the degree of stability a grid possess. Out of four types of wind generators, DFIG (Doubly fed Induction Generator) share the major wind energy production in USA (60%) and continuing to grow. With a vision of almost 20% penetration within next two decades, more aggressive and accurate modelling and analysis has to be done to determine the transient stability with penetrating wind generation. This project aims to analyze the transient stability of one of the base case transmission test grid (IEEE 9bus) with and without DFIG wind power plant and compare the results to draw sensible conclusion about such power plant integration. Study is done using PTI-PSS/E software by Siemens.
