Provided is a method for analyzing the stability of a PMSG-WT connected to a weak power grid considering the influence of power control. New energy power generation mostly uses a perturbation and observation (P&O) method for maximum power point tracking, and nonlinear discontinuous links therein make stability analysis difficult.
