In a power system with wind farms, the point of common coupling (PCC) usually suffers from voltage instability under large wind speed variations and the load impact. Using the internal converter of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbine to provide voltage support auxiliary service is an effective scheme to suppress the voltage fluctuation at PCC. To satisfy the reactive power demand of the connected grid, an active voltage coordinate control strategy with the hybrid energy storage system of the wind farm is proposed. The dynamic reactive power balance model is established to show the interaction between the reactive power limitation of the wind farm and the reactive power compensation demand of the grid. This indicates the initial conditions of the active voltage coordinate control strategy. According to the critical operating point and the operation state of the DFIG, the active and reactive power coordinate control strategy composed of active ω-β coordinate control and active β control is proposed to enhance the reactive power support capability and stabilize the grid voltage. To compensate the active power shortage, an auxiliary control strategy based on the hybrid energy storage system is introduced. The simulation results show that the proposed strategy can suppress the voltage fluctuation effectively and make full use of primary energy.
