Study on Application of STATCOM in Dynamic Reactive Power Compensation of Wind Farm Integration
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.
