Transient stability analysis of induction generator using torque-time characteristic

Abstract

Transient stability assessment of wind power generator is one of main issues in power system security and operation. The transient stability for the wind power generator is determined by its corresponding critical clearing time (CCT). Conventionally, determination of the induction generator CCT involves a large number of trial and error methods that requires repetitive runs of related time domain simulation. In this paper, we present transient stability analysis technique for induction generator used in wind power generating system at three-phase fault conditions. The proposed method saves time in consuming the repetitive runs of related time domain simulation. The validity of the developed technique is confirmed by the results obtained from trial and error method using Matlab/Simulink.
