    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; torsional oscillation; reactive power ancillary service; voltage stability; power system simulator.; STATCOM; non-minimum phase system; Variable speed wind turbine; frequency control; sensitivity analysis; transient stability; small-signal stability;

    Abstract : This dissertation deals with the investigation on different value added properties of variable speed wind turbines (VSWT) that stem from the flexible controllability of converter interfaced wind turbines (WT). Improvements in voltage and transient stability of a nearby grid, small-signal stability improvement on the power system, frequency control support for the network operation, as well as thetechnical and the economic issues related to the reactive power ancillary service provision, are among the issues covered.
