Abstract

This paper investigates the impacts 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 durations 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 the active power, reactive
power, and bus voltage of the wind farm
