Development of Reactive Power Allocation Method for Radial Structure Wind Farm Considering Multiple Connections

In recent years, the number of wind farms consisting type 3 and 4 turbines located within distribution system has been growing rapidly. Wind can be utilized as a continuous reactive power source to support voltage by taking advantage their control capability. This paper aims further develop assignment strategy in order minimize losses described published paper. We introduce method reconfiguration numbering apply algorithm farm structure previously-defined allocation ratio into two types ratios. The goal is loss minimization configuration with up connected one ring main unit (RMU). proposed reduces increases real flow allocating account resistance value. technique validated Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS)-based Hardware-in-the-loop Simulation (HILS) environment considering Dongbok Jeju, South Korea. simulation, Raspberry Pi acts controller sending dispatch signal each turbine via Modbus TCP/IP protocol. simulation results mean that, applying algorithm, we expect reduction effects farm.
