Abstract :
This paper presents a comparative performance analysis of a wind power generation unit with and without the inclusion of a reactive compensator known as saturated core reactor (SCR) to improve voltage variations resulting from the wind power. Besides demonstrating the solution efficiency and adequacy for voltage control, the results can also be used to validate the established computational model. Field results, derived from a real system with and without the compensator insertion are given to enhance the overall system/compensator/generators behavior.
