Analysis of Reactive Power Regulation in Wind Farms and Control Schemes for MMC-Based STATCOMs

Описание: In Mexico, the Código de Red sets out the technical requirements that generation plants—whether conventional or renewable—must comply with to connect to the national electric grid. These requirements include tasks related to the control of active and reactive power, voltage, and frequency; all aimed at keeping the system stable and reliable. Among these, reactive power regulation is particularly important, as it directly affects compliance and the overall quality of grid interaction. This work is divided into two parts. The first looks at how EMTP simulations can help detect reactive power regulation issues in a wind farm, using real data obtained from power quality meters installed on-site. These measurements serve as input for the simulations, allowing a better understanding of the behavior of the plant during grid disturbances. The second part focuses on developing a modulation and control strategy for a MMC-STATCOM based on a blackbox model, analyzing its response under specific operating scenarios.
