This paper presents an overall perspective of wind power plants and grid integration. Various wind turbine systems with different generators are described, and different technical features are compared. The electrical topologies with grid requirement for grid stability of wind farms are summarized and the possible uses of grid stability with wind farms are given. Finally, the Hybrid power system aspect and its impact on grid stability and its requirements are discussed.
