Preliminary Research on Active Power Control Strategy for Wind Farm

Wind farms are considered to be negative loads from the point of view of a utility. As installed capacity of wind power retains a significant proportion of generation mix in the electric system, operators have the increasing expectation that wind turbines should function in some way similar to the conventional plants. This paper presents a control strategy to regulate active power for different wind turbines under various operating conditions, and create a simple model for wind farm, preliminarily calculating optimal output based on simplex method which is linear programming.
