Advantageous Positioning of Wind Turbine Generating System in MV Distribution Network

Original language description

This paper presents a new method for achieving voltage stability and reduction of power losses with renewable wind turbine generating system (WTGS) installed at different position on a Medium Voltage (MV) distribution system. The proposed network is a three-phase system consisting of 0.4 kV low voltage (LV) feeder with an active power (P) of 8 MW and a negative VAR (QC) of 0.5 MVAR. And a 20 kV MV feeder with an active power (P) of 22 MW and a negative VAR (QC) of 1.5 MVAR. The 0.4 kV and 20 kV feeders has varying positive VAR values of 2, 2.25, 2.5 and 6, 6.5, 7 MVARs respectively. Three sets of data's were observed; data 1, 2, and 3, the feeders are connected to a 20 kV MV distribution network, which is then linked to a 20 kV substation. Thereafter, a 20 kV MV renewable WTGS energy source with IGBT converters is integrated to the network for effective reactive power compensation. Three different Cases have been analyzed; First is the case with the proposed power system network analyzed without any WTGS attached to the network, in other words when the WTGS is switched off (this is designated as Case 1). Second is the situation with the WTGS positioned at the terminal end of the 20 kV MV distribution network (point 1, which is designated as Case 2) and Third is the situation when the position of the wind energy source is changed and stationed at the beginning of the terminal of the 20 kV MV power line (point 2, which is designated as Case 3). Matlab/Simulink software is used for the simulation of the system model. Simulation results for each of the case studies is analyzed and it is observed that research findings for Case 2 is more efficient in achieving improved voltage stability and power losses reduction in medium voltage electric-power distribution network.
