This paper presents a comparative study between genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization methods to determine the optimal proportional–integral (PI) controller parameters for a wind farm management algorithm. This study primarily aims to develop a rapid and stable system by tuning the PI controller, thus providing excellent monitoring for a wind farm system. The wind farm management system supervises the active and reactive power of the wind farm by sending references to each wind generator. This management system ensures that all wind generators achieve their required references. Furthermore, the entire management is included in the normal controlling power set points of the wind farm as designed by a central control system. The performance management of this study is tested through MATLAB/Simulink simulation results for the wind farm based on three doublyfed induction generators

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.

This paper presents wind energy conversion model, drive shaft’s dual-mass model and generator’s transient mathematical model for the transient analysis of fixed speed asynchronous wind generators, and analyzes the transient characteristics of the wind generators under the condition of low voltage fault. The control principles of two dynamic reactive power compensation equipments as static var compensator (SVC) and static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) are introduced. Take a wind farm consists of fixed speed asynchronous wind generators as an example, the two compensation equipments are simulated in PowerFactory/DIgSILENT to compare the effort of them on enhancing the low voltage ride-through capability of the wind farm.

In this paper, starting from the active network loss formulas and wind characteristics, it is pointed out the reactive power loss and reactive flow is the major impact of wind power integration on power system loss. The reactive power loss formulas of box-type transformer, main step-up transformer, wind farm collector line and connecting grid line are analyzed. Next the reactive power loss of transformer and transmission line is described in detail. Then put forward the loss reduction measures that installing SVC on the low voltage side of the main step-up transformer and making the doubly-fed wind generators send out some reactive power at an allowed power factor. Use the case of Gansu Qiaodong wind farm to verify the effectiveness of the proposed measures.

Dynamic voltage instability is one of the new problems with the fast development of wind farm clusters. This text is about the improvement of voltage stability of weak grid connected with wind turbine generators (WTGs). It focuses on the control strategy and mode of WTGs and dynamic reactive compensators during disturbance. Firstly, in order to propel WTGs outputting reactive power, the active control mode regarding both doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) and permanent magnetic synchronous generators (PMSGs) is given. Secondly, the method of installing SVC at the terminal of part of WTGs is proposed. The selection of WTGs to install SVC is based on the sensitivity analysis. Thirdly, a coordinating method of various reactive sources is discussed. Finally, the comprehensive control logic under time series is listed. The simulation validates the methods above.

The main purpose of this paper is to study the enhancement of the Low-Voltage-Ride-Through (LVRT) capability of the wind farm with the installment of the Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) and the Static Var Compensator (SVC). With more penetration of wind energy from on-shore and off-shore wind farms, utilities have been starting to set up the regulation requiring the wind turbine generators to remain connected to the grid when a fault takes place in the system which is referred to as Low-Voltage-Ride-Through (LVRT). A wind farm composed with doubly fed induction generators is used as the study system. Both the STATCOM and the SVC are utilized as the devices for enhancing the LVRT capability of the wind farm. The results are demonstrated for comparing the performance of the two devices in the improvement of voltage dynamic characteristics of the study system.

Squirrel-cage induction generator (SCIG) has been widely utilized in large wind farms in China. However, the large wind farm composed of induction generators will cause obvious power system stability problems due to the dependency on reactive power. Doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) has excellent dynamic characteristics of wind farm operations. With the increasing of wind power penetration in power systems, more and more wind farms use both SCIG and DFIG. This paper firstly analyzes the the dynamic characteristic of wind farm on power systems, especially in terms of the voltage stability. Then the interaction between the SCIGs and DFIGs is also investigated. A detailed simulation model of wind farms is presented by means of MATLAB. The simulation results demonstrate that the DFIG applications will improve the voltage stability of the wind farm largely and the low voltage ride through characteristics of SCIG to some extend.
