Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of the fault ride through on the stability of fixed speed wind farm interconnected grid. The effect of fault location and its duration time are studied for different fault types. The contribution of Static Synchronous Compensator STATCOM to support the fixed-speed wind farm interconnected electric grid during different fault locations and different fault duration times are investigated. Simulation test cases using MATLAB-Simulink are implemented on a 9 MW wind farm exports a power to 120 KV grid. The simulation results show the influence of fault location and its duration on active power, reactive power, and bus voltage of the wind farm.
