In this paper a new topology for wind turbines based on doubly-fed induction generator was proposed. The idea behind that work is use the FACTS features of the WT-DFIG to improve the power quality into the point of common coupling (PCC). Besides the inherent advantages to the active filters. through …

Fixed speed and variable speed wind generator models for power system dynamics and transient stability analysis were presented. The models are valid for the simulation of system faults and power fluctuations resulting from wind-turbulence. For estimating wind-turbulence in wind farms a stochastic turbulence model was presented considering rotational sampling. tower …
