<p>In the recent years, the integration of the wind farms into the electrical grids has increased rapidly. Especially, the wind power plants made up with doubly fed induction generators due to its many advatanges, such as being able to control its reactive power. Hence, some countries have published grid code requirements related to the reactive power that the wind turbines have to satisfy. This paper presents a coordinated reactive power control strategy in which STATCOM and doubly fed induction generators in wind power plants are used in order to bring back the voltage at the point of common coupling in the allowable range. First, reactive power requirements that the wind farms have to fulfill in some European countries are introduced. Second, the reactive power limitations of 2MW doubly fed induction generator are determined. Then, the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and the synchronous var compensator (SVC) FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) devices are presented. Finaly, various reactive power control strategies are applied to 10 MW wind farm, and the simulation results are analysed and compared.</p>

To solve the voltage stability issue caused by wind speed random and fluctuations and dynamic reactive power regulation of DFIG, a new coordinated control strategy is proposed. The scheme of switching of capacitor bank is pre-performed based on the predicted wind power, then based on the variety relation analysis between active power and reactive power of DFIG, by regulating the reactive power of wind farm in real time and determining reactive power output, it implement the reactive power and voltage control. Therefore, this improvement can enhance voltage quality and reduce capacitor responding times. The simulation of a practical example shows that the control strategy is effective and feasible.
