This paper investigates factors that influence the design of dynamic reactive power compensation (DRPC) for an offshore wind farm consisting of fixed-speed wind turbines. Several influencing factors are considered including DRPC device types and locations, network strength, and fault ride-through (FRT) capability of individual wind turbines in the wind farm. The DRPC alternatives discussed in this paper comprise of a STATCOM and an SVC. It is found that the exclusion of wind turbine FRT capability results in too large DRPC size estimation. In the case of wind turbines equipped with FRT capability, it was found that the investment cost for both STATCOM and SVC options are comparable. The study also emphasizes the necessity of performing dynamic analysis to correctly design the size and location of the DRPC device.

When offshore wind power is transmitted to ac grid through MMC-HVDC, the current and voltage will be quite different from those in traditional ac grid during grid side fault. This paper sets up an offshore wind farm integration system via MMC-HVDC and designs control strategies for each unit in the system. The fault ride through strategy of the system is proposed and its effectiveness has been verified. Thus, the AC bus voltage on wind farm side will stay stable during AC side fault. Once the chopper resistance is set properly, the output power and current of the wind farm can basically remain unchanged, which can successfully achieve fault isolation. The simulation results based on PSCAD have verified the theoretical analysis.
