Reactive power control of a wind farm made up with doubly fed induction generators. II

Electrical systems endowed with variable generating units are called to dominate the electrical landscape in the near future and new tools are necessary to develop in order to work in this new environment. Wind power generation is becoming one of the most important renewable energy sources in Spain and consequently, the simulation of a wind farm power performance will be an essential tool for the location of new farms. Additionally, their active/reactive power regulation possibility can become very important in the decision making process for the generator-type that has to be implemented in each wind farm. The present paper presents two different algorithms for the regulation of wind farms made up with doubly fed induction machines (DFIM), simulation results of the developed algorithms and real results of the implementation in a farm located in the North of Spain. Part II presents the developed reactive power control algorithms
