Abstract

The paper studies reactive power compensation strategy of wind farm based on optislip wound rotor induction generators (WRIGs). The WRIGs wind farm shares high market occupancy in China, but academic researches on this grid-connected wind generation are few. Due to the WRIGs wind turbines not allowing the control of the reactive power, so it is necessary that reactive power compensation device is adopted in the large scale grid-connected wind farm. In the paper, from the perspective of system study, the compensation effects of three kind of static var compensation (SVC) are compared, and the influence of different ratings SVC on the voltage stability of the optislip wind farm is investigated. Finally, reactive power compensation strategy of the wind farm is proposed.
