This paper examines the effect of integrating large number of wind turbines particularly the double fed induction generator (DFIG) on the virtual inertia of the Danish power system network. The virtual inertia refers to the kinetic energy stored in the rotating masses which can be released initially to counter act the frequency change during a power system disturbance.
Simulation studies have been carried out on a generic reduced model of a transmission power grid of the Danish TSO Energinet.dk to assess the impact of loss of generation on system frequency. Further, simulation study has been carried out for different scenarios to assess the impact of reduction in capacity of the traditional power plants and also to assess the impact of increased wind power penetration.
