One of the most promising alternate sources of energy is wind energy. Energy of the wind is converted to electrical energy in wind farms and is then connected to a weak distribution network to supply local loads. Most wind farms use induction generators for electricity generation. These induction generators draw excessive reactive power for their operation and this causes shortage of reactive power in the system and leads to voltage collapse. This problem is simulated on PSCAD/EMTDC platform. For static compensation, capacitor banks are used and for dynamic compensation, Static Var Compensators (SVCs) are used.

AbstractIn this study, an auxiliary damping controller based on a robust controller considering the active and reactive power control loops for a doubly-fed induction generator for wind farms is proposed. The presented controller is able to improve the inter-area oscillation damping. In addition, the proposed controller applies only one accessible local signal as the input; however, it can improve the inter-area oscillation damping and, consequently the system stability for the various working conditions and uncertainties. The oscillatory modes of the system are appointed using the linear analysis. Then, the controller’s parameters are determined using the robust control approaches ($${H}_{\infty }/{H}_{2})$$ H ∞ / H 2 ) with the pole placement and linear matrix inequality method. The results of the modal analysis and time-domain simulations confirm that the controller develops the inter-area oscillation damping under the various working conditions and uncertainties.

Abstract In this paper, solar photovoltaic hosting capacity within the electrical distribution network is estimated for different buses, and the impacts of high PV penetration are evaluated using power hardware-in-loop testing methods. It is observed that the considered operational constraints (i.e. voltage and loadings) and their operational limits have a significant impact on the hosting capacity results. However, with increasing photovoltaic penetration, some of the network buses reach maximum hosting capacity, which affects the network operation (e.g. bus voltages, line loading). The results show that even distributing the maximum hosting capacity among different buses can increase the bus voltage rise to 9%. To maintain the network bus voltages within acceptable limits, reactive power voltage-based droop control is implemented in the photovoltaic conditioning devices to test the dynamics of the network operation. The results show that implementation of the droop control technique can reduce the maximum voltage rise from 9% to 4% in the considered case. This paper also presents the impact of forming a mesh type network (i.e. from radial network) on the voltage profile during PV penetration, and a comparative analysis of the operational performance of a mesh type and radial type electrical network is performed. It is observed that the cumulative effect of forming a mesh type network along with a droop control strategy can further improve the voltage profile and contribute to increase photovoltaic penetration. The results are verified using an experimental setup of digital real-time simulator and power hardware-in-loop test methods. The results from this work will be useful for estimating the appropriate photovoltaic hosting capacity within a distribution network and implementation of a droop control strategy in power conditioning devices to maintain the network operational parameters within the specified limits. Highlights Voltage and line loading constraints’ combination can reduce PV hosting capacity by 50% as compared to only voltage as a constraint. Implementation of reactive power versus voltage droop control in PV power conditioning device can reduce voltage variation from 9% to 4%. In a PV integrated electrical energy network, line loading can be reduced by 20% if the network is configured from radial to mesh type.

Set Up

With the Asynchronous wind generators as research object, this paper analyzes the problems of the voltage stability and the generation mechanism of the reactive power compensation during the wind farms connected operation. For paralleling capacitor bank has shown obvious defects, therefore this paper employs dynamic reactive power compensation to improve reactive characteristics of grid-connected wind farms. With the influences of different wind disturbances and grid faults on wind farms, wind farm model is set up and dynamic reactive power compensation system and wind speeds are built in the Matlab/Simulink software, The simulation result shows that they can provide reactive power compensation to ensure the voltage stability of the wind farms. But STATCOM needs less reactive compensation capacity to make sure the voltage and active power approaching steady state before the faults more quickly, Therefore STATCOM is more suitable for wind farms connected dynamic reactive power compensation.

The reactive power compensation optimization in distribution network has the important meaning in maintaining system voltage stability, decreasing network loss and reducing operation costs. In order to meet factual conditions, we assume the system operates in minimum, normal and maximum three load modes and the objective function of problem includes the costs of power loss and the dynamic reactive power compensation devices allocated. In this paper we use Artificial Immune Algorithm(AIA) and Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm(PSO) to determine compensate nodes and use the back/forward sweep algorithm calculate load flows. After applied into 28-nodes system, the result demonstrates the method is feasible and effective.

The alternator output power in the power system can be divided into active and reactive power. The active power (in kW) is that part of the electrical energy for doing work and heat loss, such as the conversion of mechanical energy, heat, light. The reactive power (in kVar) is that part of the electrical energy for the exchange of electric and magnetic fields in the circuit, such as transformers, motors, through the magnetic field can be passed to convert electrical energy; transmission lines in cable systems and a variety of load reactance (inductance and capacitance), and consumption of reactive power. With the rapid development of power system to study how to reduce energy loss in the power system is a very meaningful. In this paper, The Shizuishan plant desulfurization project as an example, illustrates the shunt capacitor reactive power compensation of the power system energy saving.
