The modeling of DFIG is presented in the paper. The case of adding 5 MW DFIGs to a wind farm with existing 1.5 MW DFIGs is considered. Grid-connected scenario is considered regarding the connection of the units. Moreover, step-up wind speed, noisy wind speed and fault at infinite bus will be introduced as disturbances to examine the possible dynamic interaction. Simulation using MATLAB and Simulink has been used to investigate all cases. To further justify the simulation results, a series of modal small perturbation analysis is also conducted.
