| Abstract: | Recently, the variable‐speed wind turbine with doubly fed induction generator (DFIG ) has drawn significant attention because of its many advantages such as small power converter rating, the ability to control the output power, etc. Nevertheless, the large penetration of DFIG wind turbines may affect the power system dynamics. This paper provides a general review of the DFIG wind turbine's impact on power system dynamic performances such as frequency stability, transient stability, small‐signal stability, and voltage stability. Besides, ancillary services from the DFIG wind turbine for the power grid, such as frequency support, reactive power, and voltage support, are explained. Especially, the survey emphasizes power oscillation damping methods by the DFIG wind turbine. © 2017 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. |
