| Abstract | Worldwide, voltage stability is become a very primary and common issue at planning stage as well to secure operation of power system. Integration of renewable energy based (e.g,. Wind and Solar PV energy based) power generators to grid have been developed in the recent decads for multi purposes such as environmental and economic. However, integration of wind and solar PV energy-based electric power generators which has more mechanical and static parts respectively as well they have highly intermittent power output, that may significantly affected the stability, quality and reliability of the power system. This thesis explores the impact of DFIG wind and solar PV based power generators and their increase penetration level on the degree of power systems’ voltage stability. Complete models of DFIG wind and solar PV generators in IEEE 14-Bus Test System and practical Suthern Power of Afghanistan have been studied. Modal analysis based on eigenvalues method is applied here to study the impact of DFIG wind and solar PV generators on power system to measure the degree of voltage stability in different scenarios. In this thesis, MATLAB based software named “Power System Analysis Toolbox (PSAT) version 2.1.6” is used for simulation stady. From analyze it is found out that integration of renewable power sources, placement and their increase penetration into power system have significant impact on the degree of power system voltage stability. |
