Two types of wind turbine generators were considered and compared against each other, namely the Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) and the Fixed-Speed Induction Generator (FSIG). Multiple schemes and system configurations were studied through eigenvalue analysis and nonlinear time domain simulations. Results demonstrate that wind farms generally had a positive impact on the damping of the undesired electro-mechanical oscillations and overall system stability; however, such positive impact was not achieved in all scenarios. {\^A}{\copyright} 2014 IEEE.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84906346406&doi=10.1109\%2fICIAS.2014.6869505&partnerID=40&md5=0cb7b2c12e2c0e940c53003d1da137c8}, isbn = {9781479946549}, author = {Fayek, H.
