Abstract
This paper aims to study the impact of the Fermeuse wind farm (46°58'42"N 52 ° 57'18"W) through simulation of wind turbines driven by doubly fed induction generator which feed AC power to the isolated utility grid of Newfoundland. The focus is on the determination of both voltage and system stability constraints. The complete system is modeled and simulated in Matlab Simulink environment.
