Due to the increasing penetration of the wind generation, the stability, especially the small-signal stability, of the power grid is much related to it. Currently, few studies considered the impact of the parameter settings of the wind turbine controller on the small-signal stability of the grid under the full range of wind conditions. In this paper, we propose a framework for deriving a set of controller parameters by interiorizing their impact on the power system stability, based on an analytic model of a 15th-order single DFIG-infinite grid connection under all wind speeds. The study results on a real wind turbine show that the controller parameters optimized for a specific wind speed may not feasible for other operational conditions yet the proposed framework can obtain a set of parameters guaranteeing the power system stability under all wind speeds.
