Abstract | ||||
The continuous increasing in the pollution level and in the same time increasing in fuel price are factors which lead to the increase in using renewable energy sources specially wind energy. Wind energy faces many challenges, one of the important challenges is that of the rapidly change in wind speed which depends on the weather condition. A change in wind speed affects on the generated power from wind turbine. SCIG and DFIG are famous kinds of wind turbine, Each of them has advantage and disadvantage, SCIG is cheap but its operation has a great effect on system stability, especially when it operates without static synchronous compensator. DFIG keeps the system stable but it is very expensive. Therefore, it's necessary to examine the response of different wind turbine generators variation of gust wind speed. This paper investigates the ability of hybrid wind farm which consists of SCIG and DFIG to operate without static synchronous compensator under gust wind speed condition. The gust wind speed is simulated according to the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC 61400. | ||||
