Integrating large-capacity wind power into a power system has a great impact on the voltage stability of a power system. Especially, a fault in such a system can result in the tripping of a large amount of wind power generation or system collapse. This article studies the effect of large-capacity wind power generation on power system voltage stability under a fault condition. The adopted wind power model consists mainly of a wind turbine, drive device, asynchronous generator, and control system. The proposed analysis approach is applied to a practical power system with wind power, which is located in Gansu province in China. Through simulation and analysis, the characteristic and stability principle of an asynchronous wind generator group are recognized. A speed increase in a wind generator group is closely related to voltage drop after fault, which may cause voltage instability if they both impact each other after fault. The detailed results are presented in the article. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
