Abstract
Generation of electricity from wind energy is emerging as one of
the leading renewable technologies. Electrical energy may be
generated over a wide range of operating conditions, particularly
if far more than one wind turbine is connected to the network. Low
electrical energy production in one part of the wind farm may
occur with high production in another part together with highly
variable reactive power consumption from the system. A GTO-based
Static Var Compensator (GTO-SVC), often called STATCOM, is used in
the wind farm Rejsby Hede in Denmark for dymanicc reactive power
compensation and voltage limitation in the case of islanding. The
paper describes the various steps for implementation of the
scheme, gives an overview of the main components of the GTO_SVC
and proposes TNA tests which are planned prior to the installation
in 1997.
