Utilizing the synchronous condenser for robust functioning of wind farm implanted electric grid

Abstract

Present-day electricity grids are equipped with sophisticated devices that allow to meet various grid code requirements. These include reactive and active power controls to ensure robust functioning of the grid. Robust operation of the electricity grid entails favourable voltage and frequency profile adjustments that can be achieved through reactive and active power controls. This study presents the synchronous condenser capability of providing voltage regulation and reactive power output, and the active power possibility path of a type-3 wind machine for dynamic state conditions and voltage stability issues. Simulations carried out in the MATLAB/Simulink environment prove the efficiency of the proposed methodology.
