Areas such as beaches, mountains and offshore seas are suitable places for wind power plants because the wind always blows throughout the day in these areas. Researches on wind power plants continue to be developed, especially optimization to increase the stability of the output power. In the wind turbine, the pitch angle is a part that can be developed to increase the stability of the turbine output power. However, there is one more parameter that can be used to maintain the stability of the wind power plant in serving consumer loads, namely the inertia of the wind turbine. The purpose of this paper is to explain the impact of changes in wind turbine inertia on the stability of the wind power plant under dynamic load conditions. In the method section, several scenarios are made for wind turbine inertia such as 0.1, 1, 2.5, 4 and 5. Next, the wind turbine is connected to an induction generator. Induction generators are the most commonly used generators for wind power plants, so the results of this paper can approximate the results of existing real wind power plants. In stability testing, dynamic loads are created by adding a lump load to the bus wind power plant when it is in operating or transient mode. The results show that the greater the inertia of the wind turbine, the more stable the changes in the output of active power, reactive power, current, and generator rotation speed. The conclusion of this paper is that inertia can also play a role in maintaining the stability of the wind power plant apart from depending on the pitch angle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
