Abstract :
The paper proposes a new fuzzy controller for variable speed wind turbines (WTs) in order to compensate the variations at the point of common coupling (PCC) by controlling the reactive power generated by WTs. A protection system is used to disconnect the WTs from the grid when the controller is unable to compensate the voltage variations. Simulations carried out on a real 37-bus Italian weak distribution network demonstrated that the controller allows compensating voltage variations during voltage sags.
