When the grid dispatch center issues a reactive power command value
the wind farm needs to rationally allocate this command value to each wind turbine generator (WTG) to meet grid stability requirements. To achieve this objective
this paper proposes a loss-minimization-based reactive power optimization control strategy for onshore wind farms. An improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is employed to optimize the reactive power reference value for each WTG
aiming to reduce total losses within the wind farm. These losses encompass generator losses
power converter losses
filter losses
transformer losses
and transmission line losses. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy
a wind farm model with a 5×5 layout is established. Simulation studies compare the conventional reactive power control strategy with the proposed loss-minimization-based reactive power optimization control strategy under different scenarios. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed optimization strategy significantly reduces power losses in the wind farm.
