Using Dynamic Reactive Power Compensation Equipments to Enhance Low Voltage Ride-through Capability of Fixed Speed Asynchronous Wind Farms

摘要

This paper presents wind energy conversion model, drive shaft's dual-mass model and generator's transient mathematical model for the transient analysis of fixed speed asynchronous wind generators, and analyzes the transient characteristics of the wind generators under the condition of low voltage fault. The control principles of two dynamic reactive power compensation equipments as static var compensator (SVC) and static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) are introduced. Take a wind farm consists of fixed speed asynchronous wind generators as an example, the two compensation equipments are simulated in PowerFactory/DIgSILENT to compare the effort of them on enhancing the low voltage ride-through capability of the wind farm.
