Enhancement voltage stability of wind farm access to power grid by novel SVC

This paper studies the voltage stability problems of wind farm access to electric grid. Based on the equivalent circuit of asynchronous machine, it deduces the relationship of wind turbine angular velocity rotation with the induction generator terminal voltage. Aiming at wind power for 10 kV distribution grid, a novel SVC is proposed to replace the fixed capacitors compensating devices. The reactive power can be detected based on the instantaneous reactive power theory and with this method the reactive power compensation is fast and continuous. The voltage level of wind farm access system is stable with a voltage feedback control strategy. The new SVC winding structure can achieve a multi-pulse, injecting the system small harmonic current component. Research results show that a corresponding control strategy of the novel SVC compensation device can be very good to improve voltage stability of wind farm access to the grid.
