A reactive power/voltage control strategy is proposed that uses wind turbines as distributed reactive power sources to optimize the power flow in large-scale wind farms and reduce the overall losses of the collector system. A mathematical model of loss optimization for the wind farm collector systems is proposed based on a reactive power/voltage sensitivity analysis; a genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm are used to validate the optimization performances. The simulation model is established based on a large-scale wind farm. The results of multiple scenarios show that the proposed strategy is superior to the traditional methods with regard to the reactive power/voltage control of the wind farm and the loss reduction of the collector system. Furthermore, the advantages in terms of annual energy savings and environmental protection are also estimated.

The fast development of wind power generation brings new requirements for wind turbine integration to grid. In order to improve the lower voltage ride through(LVRT) capability of fixed speed induction generator(FSIG) in wind power generating systems, the mathematic model of FSIG, supercapacitor(SC) and converter is built in DIgSILENT in this paper. A control strategy for FSIG and SC based on wind farms is proposed to enhance the terminal voltage of point of common coupling (PCC) after the clearance of an external short circuit fault. The simulation results show that the terminal voltage of PCC can be significantly improved when there is extra active and reactive power compensation available from SC.

Wind energy is one of the extraordinary sources of renewable energy due to its clean character and free availability. With increase in wind power penetration, the wind farms are directly influencing the power systems. The majority of wind farms are using variable speed wind turbines equipped with doubly fed induction generators (DFIG) due to their advantages over other wind turbine generators (WTGs). Therefore, the analysis of wind power dynamics with the DFIG wind turbines has become a very important research issue, especially during transient faults. In this article, a controller is provided to control the active and reactive power of a wind system equipped with doubly fed induction generator. The generator is connected to the grid by a back to back converter that gets benefit from control system known as single periodic controller. Grid and generator side converters respectively control the generator speed and reactive power using proposed controller. In order to increase the accuracy of controller, we optimized its PI parameters using genetic optimization algorithm. Finally, simulation results conducted by the MATLAB software are shown. The results of simulation gained through this system, show the capability of proposed controller under error conditions for controlling active and reactive power and also elimination of harmonics caused by non-linear load.

In the wind power area, Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) has many advantages due to its ability to provide power to voltage and constant frequency during rotor speed changes, which provides better wind capture as compared to fixed speed wind turbines (WTs). The high sensitivity of the DFIG towards electrical faults brings up many challenges in terms of compliance with requirements imposed by the operators of electrical networks. Indeed, in case of a fault in the network, wind power stations are switched off automatically to avoid damage in wind turbines, but now the network connection requirements impose stricter regulations on wind farms in particular in terms of Low Voltage Ride through (LVRT), and network support capabilities. In order to comply with these codes, it is crucial for wind turbines to redesign advanced control, for which wind turbines must, when detecting an abnormal voltage, stay connected to provide reactive power ensuring a safe and reliable operation of the network during and after the fault. The objective of this work is to offer solutions that enable wind turbines remain connected generators, after such a significant voltage drop. We managed to make an improvement of classical control, whose effectiveness has been verified for low voltage dips. For voltage descents, we proposed protection devices as the Stator Damping Resistance (SDR) and the CROWBAR. Finally, we developed a strategy of combining the solutions, and depending on the depth of the sag, the choice of the optimal solution is performed.

As large-scale wind farms are connected to the grid, a single type compensator cannot meet the demand. STATCOM has ability of rapid reaction and harmonics suppression, SVC can compensate large capacity reactive power. In this study, a compensator, which is able to coordinate Static Var System (SVS) with STATCOM is proposed. Large-scale wind power integration is simulated respectively with the compensator of STATCOM alone and coordinated compensator of SVS and STATCOM by DIgSILENT/Powerfactory15.0. Simulations results clearly verify that the compensator of SVS and STATCOM improves transient stability and performance of the photovoltaic systems.
