Abstract

The fast growth of the world’s energy demand in the modernized world has stirred many countries around the globe to focus on power generation by abundantly available renewable energy resources. Among them, wind energy has attained significant attention owing to its environment-friendly nature along with other fabulous advantages. However, wind-integrated power systems experience numerous voltage instability complexities due to the sporadic nature of wind. This paper comprehensively reviews the problems of voltage instability in wind-integrated power systems, its causes, consequences, improvement techniques, and implication of grid codes to keep the operation of the network secure. Thorough understanding of the underlying issues related to voltage instability is necessary for the development of effective mitigation techniques in order to facilitate wind integration into power systems. Therefore, this review delves into the origin and consequences of voltage instability, emphasizing its adverse impacts on the performance and reliability of power systems. Moreover, it sheds light on the challenges of integrating wind energy with existing grids. This manuscript provides a comprehensive overview of the essential features required for critical analysis through a detailed examination of Voltage Stability Indices (VSIs). To address voltage stability issues in wind-integrated power systems, this review examines diverse techniques proposed by researchers, encompassing the tools utilized for assessment and mitigation. Therefore, in the field of power system operation and renewable energy integration, this manuscript serves as a valuable resource for researchers by comprehensively addressing the complexities and challenges associated with voltage instability in wind-integrated power systems.
