Abstract:

In recent years, China's new energy technology has developed rapidly. Among them, power generated by grid-connected wind farms has grown rapidly. However, wind power accesses to the grid in a way of large-scale wind farm cluster, which leads to severe voltage instability and voltage over-limit at wind power grid-connected points. Automatic voltage control (AVC) system is an important technical means for reactive power voltage management, and is of great significance to the economic and stable operation of the power grid. Based on the current situation that large-scale wind power has connected to the power grid, an improved control strategy for the AVC system with wind power participation is proposed. It is a three-level wind power AVC system coordinated control strategy constructed based on a hierarchical control structure, with wind power collection stations as the intermediate co-ordination layer. The control decision is made on this layer by converting multi-unit nonlinear reactive power optimization to reactive power extreme value distribution through penalty function process. Finally, the optimal solution of reactive power is found through the proposed improved harmony search algorithm. The strategy can ensure the economic and stable operation of the power grid under the control of the AVC system.
