Abstract :
This paper explores and compares the performances of two alternative control strategies for wind distributed generators: voltage control mode and power factor control mode. Considering the indications given in the Italian standard CEI 11-32 and in order to evaluate the voltage control capabilities of variable speed wind turbines, dynamic simulations are carried out for different load scenarios considering a real distribution system located in Italy.
