This paper investigates the impacts of a wind farm connected at Harterbeespoort substation in South Africa on voltage stability of the power network. The site wind speed was determined and analyzed for viability. A comparison is made between the use of Doubly-Fed Induction Generators and Self-excited Induction Generators driven by the wind turbines. The resulting P-V and Q-V curves from load flow studies are presented and analyzed. The models for this study were implemented in DigSILENT PowerFactory.

In this paper, a novel modelling approach based on characteristic fusion is proposed and used to build a static equivalent model of wind farm. Firstly, the modelling framework based on characteristic fusion is given. Secondly, the basic characteristics of wind farm including characteristic of wind turbine generator (WTG), wind speed spatial distribution and characteristic of wind farm are analyzed according to the framework. Then detailed modelling process is provided utilizing SVR as a fusion tool. This approach combines the advantages of both mechanism and non-mechanism methods with both satisfactory fitting ability and generalization ability. It only requires the maximum and minimum value of wind speed among the wind farm, rather than accurate wake model as mechanism method nor massive measurement data as non-mechanism method. Numerical simulation indicates the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method. When available data is reduced or includes bad measurement, the proposed method can still keep favorable performance.

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.
