Abstract

The increasing penetration of a renewable energy in the power system grid makes it one of the most important topics for generating electricity for the near future. Tidal currents energy is one of the most technologies growing rapidly for generating electric energy. This paper deals with the small signal stability analysis of the tidal current turbine using two different types of generators, doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) and direct drive permanent magnet synchronous generator (DDPMSG) for a single machine infinite bus system. DFIG and DDPMSG are tested for small signal stability analysis. The eigenvalues of the overall system show the advantages of using the DDPMSG over the DFIG.
