| Summary: | Wind power plants penetration into power grids has grown considerably due to the fact of being cheap and clean. As a result, many countries require that the wind turbines must be capable of offering ancillary services such as reactive power control and voltage regulation. Furthermore, some voltage stability indices rely on both reactive and active power; consequently, it is useful to take also into account the active power during the planning stage so as to fulfil the load requirement and to enhance the voltage stability. The present study intends to present an optimization algorithm permitting to diminish the electrical losses and enhance the voltage profile by getting the fittest allocation of active power production of traditional generators and wind power plants. Besides, wind farms reactive power injection is determined. To verify the proposed algorithm, a 40 MW wind farm (WF) made up of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) and the 14 IEEE bus system are used. In the case study, three different metaheuristic methods are used to resolve the objective function. Finally, the simulation results are reported. |
