Abstract :
This paper deals with the use of Medium Voltage (MV) renewable wind energy source to optimize reactive power in a distribution network, it describes the increase of power factor when the reactive power is controlled at a wind farm increase in power factor allows improvement in the stability of distribution networks, and the increase in power factor is used as new methodology to reduce power losses, Matlab/Simulink program is used to show the results of the analysis.
