Simulation Research on Improving Low Voltage Ride through of a Wind Farm by SVC

Abstract:

Large-scale wind farm connecting to the grid will affect the stability of the grid, therefore dynamic reactive power compensation devices need to be installed at the wind farm in order to reduce the negative impact after connecting to the grid, andimprove the low voltageridethrough capability of the grid system wind turbine. Simulation models of a wind farm and SVCare built in PSCAD. In different fault location, simulations are carried out respectively to analyze the effect of SVC on LVRT. The results show that SVC can effectively improve the LVRT capability.
