With increasing penetrations of wind generation, based on power‐electronic converters, power systems are transitioning away from well‐understood synchronous generator‐based systems, with growing implications for their stability. Issues of concern will vary with system size, wind penetration level, geographical distribution and turbine type, network topology, electricity market structure, unit commitment procedures, and other factors. However, variable‐speed wind turbines, both onshore and connected offshore through direct current (DC) grids, offer many control opportunities to either replace or enhance existing capabilities. Achieving ...
