Practical limit of synthetic inertia in full converter wind turbine generators: simulation approach

© 2016 IEEE.The massive integration of wind power using power converters has imposed several challenges to the future power system. One of them is related to the decoupling effect of new power sources from the AC power grid, incapacitating their natural frequency response. This situation negatively...
