Abstract

Doubly fed induction generators (DFIG) are more and more used in wind farms. Their reactive power generation capabilities are related to their operating points (wind speeds). This paper describes a hierarchical supervisory of the reactive power in a wind farm and focuses on the reactive power local supervisory unit of each DFIG based wind generator. In this context, a local supervisory algorithm is proposed for reactive power dispatching by taking into account three modes of the wind farm operating.
