Contribution of Wind Farms to Voltage Control in a Distribution Grid
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper presents a concept of utilizing wind farms in a process of voltage control in 110 kV distribution grids. It has been shown that when properly controlled, a wind farm can assist in decreasing voltage variations in a HV grid caused by daily load variations.It has been also shown that stabilization of HV grid voltage caused by the influence of a wind farm is reflected with decreased frequency of tap changes in HV/MV transformers operating within the same grid and therefore extends lifetime of tap changers.

This paper presents an improved grid voltage control strategy for wind farms with doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) connected to distribution networks based on an analysis of the operation limits of DFIG systems. A modified reactive power limit calculation method in different operation states is proposed and a reactive power control strategy during grid voltage dips/rises is further discu...
متن کاملComparison of the effects of two flatness based control methods for STATCOM on improving stability in power systems including DFIG based wind farms
Power grids are complex, interconnected and nonlinear systems, and this will be more severe when they are subjected to high wind resources penetration. Static synchronous compensators (STATCOM) are used to improve voltage regulation and to meet grid codes in power systems, including doubly fed induction generators (DFIG) based wind farms. Despite the nonlinear nature of STATCOM, the conventiona...
