Abstract (EN): The electrical power production from dispersed energy sources or distributed generation is playing an increasing role in the supply of electricity in the liberalized electricity markets. Distributed generation can have a significant impact on the power flow, voltage profile, stability and the power quality for both customers and electricity suppliers. In this paper it is studied and analysed the influence of a wind farm in the dynamic voltage stability of a power network. A short-circuit in the middle of the transmission line and a significant load demand disturbance situation were simulated. The automatic voltage regulators of the generating units, the turbine speed governors and the double fed induction generator models were taken into account. The simulation results were obtained using the EUROSTAG software package. Finally, some conclusions that provide a better understanding of the dynamic voltage stability are pointed out.
