Comparative Fault Response study of Synchronous Generator in the presence of Wind Generator using Singular Perturbation based Transient Stability Index

Abstract

The presence of wind generator in interconnected power systems is an important aspect to be considered while studying transient faults. A deeper understanding of transient stability study is essential for the qualitative assessment of the system which includes wind generator. This understanding can be achieved by calculating transient stability index using singular perturbation method. For the calculation of this transient stability index, the state variables are modelled in a realistic approach of slow and fast time frames. In this study, the transient stability assessment results obtained using the method of singular perturbation are compared with the corresponding results calculated using catastrophe theory and linearized singular perturbation methods. In order to understand the implications of presence of a wind generator in the system during transient faults, the study also focuses on the effect of circuit breaker clearing time and generator transient reactance.
