Use of Synthetic Wind Power Time Series for Long-term Voltage Stability Analysis

Abstract

In this paper two types of synthetic wind power time series are used to assess the effect of wind variability in the long-term voltage stability assessment of a power system. A wind power time series is generated using the wind simulation tool CorWind, which is based on power spectral density. This time series is then used as input to develop a Markov model for wind power simulation. Both the CorWind time series and randomly generated time series using the Markov model are then applied to a simple power system and the effect of wind variability on the maximum power transfer to a remote load is investigated.
