Coordination Strategy of Large-Scale DFIG-Based Wind Farm for Voltage Support With High Converter Capacity Utilization
IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy(2021)
Abstract
Due to the long-distance transmission, external grid cannot effectively support the access point voltage (APV) of the large-scale wind farm (WF), which thus entails DFIG-based WF to provide its ancillary services on reactive power generation. Considering factors of limited down-sized converter capacity, various operating modes of wind turbines (WTs), and the large pressure of large-scale WF communication on the central governor, this paper proposes a distributed active power and reactive power coordination scheme for APV support. A reactive power self-allocation scheme is developed and operated in each WT for reactive power dispatch. Based on the mechanism of distributed consensus control and aligning with the principle of preferential and proportional utilization of spare reactive power capacity (RPC), the proposed method collaborates the rotor side converters and the grid side converters of all WTs but without the necessity of knowing the total RPC. Further, in case that the total RPC is insufficient for the demand, a coordinating factor for RPC extension is generated to weaken the active power. Through a current-enforced PQ coordinating loop, it guarantees a high utilization of converter capacity as well as an exact compensation on the reactive power imbalance, which thereby reduces the wind power curtailment for the RPC release. Several case studies verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
