Abstract
This chapter presents the challenging problems and potential solutions that large interconnection network systems face due to the high penetration of renewable power plants using asynchronous generators. The penetration of renewable power sources into wide-area power system has been increase steadily over the last years all over the world. As an example, wind power at the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, (ERCOT) has growth to over 12 GW capacity installed (2015) and it is expected that an additional 7–10 GW can be added in the next 2–4 years.

Notes
- 1.
ERCOT developed a first generation wind models in 2003. PSS/e user-defined models were prepared for manufacturer specific wind turbines, representing the existing fleet of type I, II, III and IV wind turbine machines.
- 2.
Short-circuit ratio (SCR) is defined as the ratio of the system three phase short circuit MVA at WPP’s point of interconnection (POI) to the WPP’s rated capacity in MW. In practice, low SCR values are below 3.
- 3.
SSCI = sub-synchronous control instability, undesirable interactions between series compensation and power electronic devices such as wind turbines, HVDC terminals, or static var compensators.
