As an increasing proportion of wind power in power grid, reactive power problem has become the most important problems in wind power integration. But as a result of wind power is a kind of intermittent energy sources, and put it into use in a large scale only just beginning. Many urgent problems which affect on system stability need to be resolved, such as voltage stability, reactive power compensation. This paper discussed the problems which around the reactive power compensation and angle stability issues while wind power integration. The reactive power compensation device named STATCOM instead of traditional capacitance. Establish the mathematical model of the Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) and Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) [3]. In order to meet the wind farm can transport reactive power quickly and continuously after fault. Establish the control strategy of DFIG combined with STATCOM [1]. Using the software MATLAB to simulate the wind power grid model and control system, verifies the rightness and effectiveness of model and STATCOM reactive power compensation effect for wind power integration.

The technology of large-scale wind power connected to grid is a key technology in the application of wind power. However, the large-scale wind power will cause the negative effect on the voltage of grid. So, the regulation of reactive power is necessary, which can stabilize the voltage level of the grid. The doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG) themselves own the ability of providing reactive power. Considering the reactive power demand when the power grid is operating, and then rationally allocating static and dynamic reactive power compensation equipment, the operational efficiency can be improved. The particle analyzes the reactive power limit of DFIG, considering the limit of stator and rotor. In this way, the reactive power compensation capacity of DFIG is used first, the use of reactive power compensation equipments are greatly reduced, so the economy of the wind farm is obviously improved.

With the significant development of wind power, it has been inevitable for wind farm cluster to integrate into the system from the grid end, therefore, the power grid loss problem of large-scale wind power integration is highlighted. At first, we construct a power transmission system model with large-scale wind power integration, get the power grid loss calculation formula of the system, and induce the change laws of the power grid loss by the constraints of power transmission channel flow. And then, based on the structure of Gansu power grid, we do some simulations about power grid loss distribution by the constraints of power transmission channel flow, and verify the correctness of theoretical derivation.

To explore the self-excitation risks in weak interconnection power grid from the wind power flow, a vector control model of variable speed wind turbine based on doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is established using electromagnetic transient simulation software PSCAD/ EMTDC. Start from the basic circuit model, the self-excitation phenomenon is analyzed with wind power integration. Simulation results show that the effect of wind power integration on the self-excitation risk is mainly determined by DFIG’s operation method, and wind power integration will affect self-excitation engineering judgment method at the same time. When DFIG works in phase late operation or has no reactive power exchange with the main power grid, cutting the wind turbine after broken thread quickly can restrain the worsening trend to a certain extent. However cutting the wind turbine after broken thread when DFIG works in phase advance operation may cause a voltage jump of the hydraulic synchronous generator in parallel with the wind turbine.

Renewable Energy especially wind energy integration has attained profound growth across the worldwide power system. Wind energy integration at large scale comes up with the challenge on voltages and reactive power management at power system level. The research work presented in this paper has analyzed the impact of wind energy on reactive power reserve with special reference to Hebei Southern Power System. The maximum wind power integration capacity is calculated, and the effect of increasing wind power integration on voltage profiles is studied. Possible controls from system sides and its effects on wind power integration are explored. Study shows that with the increase of the wind power integration capacity, the intermittency and variation will bring more serious problems to the system frequency regulation, reserve service and voltage control. These problems also become the limiting factors for further increase of large-scale wind power integration. In order to make a better use of wind power resources in Heibei province and maintain system safety at the same time, further research should be performed on exploring the reactive and active power regulation and control of the wind farm and the methods to decrease the variability of wind farm outputs.

This paper analyses the mechanism of large scale cascading trip-off failures of wind turbine generators in China, focuses on the reasons of trip-off caused by overvoltage. It analyses the model of Doubly Fed Induction Generation (DFIG) and builds a model of a wind farm that is composed of Doubly Fed Induction generators in DIgSILENT. The wind farm A with capacity of 175MW and wind farm B with capacity of 175MW is accessed to the nine bus system. The simulation reproduces the processes of the cascading trip-off of wind turbine generators caused by undervoltage and overvoltage. The trip-off caused by undervoltage is due to the lack of Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT). And that the capacitive reactive power compensation device is not timely removed leads to a large surplus of reactive power, then the voltage rises, so the wind turbine generators trip off because of overvoltage. By setting the contrast scenario, the result shows that if capacitive reactive power compensation device is promptly removed after the loss of a large amount of active power, the wind turbine generators will not trip off because of overvoltage.

A novel inverter control strategy to enhance the transient stability of grid-connected wind farm based on doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) is presented. Adding transient angle control strategy in the rotor side converter active control loop, this can dissipate the system unbalancing energy and restrain the system oscillations by the variation of wind turbine speed. Adding transient voltage control strategy in reactive control loop, this can provide fast reactive power compensation and support the restoration and reconstruction of the grid voltage when fault occurred. The control strategy which can improve the transient Angle stability and transient voltage stability at the same time is put forward. Finally, a testing system including a DFIG-based wind farm is realized using DigSILENT/Power Factory, the strategy validation and the contribution to power system stability enhancement are verified by simulation.

An experiment with tripping and re-connecting a MW wind turbine generator was carried out at the Nøjsomheds Odde wind farm in Denmark. The experimental results are used primarily to validate the shaft system representation of a dynamic wind turbine model. The dynamic wind turbine model is applied in investigations of power system stability with relation to incorporation of large amounts of wind power into the Danish power grid. The simulations and the measurements are found to agree. The experiment was part of a large R&D program started in Denmark to investigate the impact of the increasing capacity of wind power fed into the Danish power grid.
