Reactive Power Optimal Control of a Wind Farm for Minimizing Collector System Losses

A reactive power/voltage control strategy is proposed that uses wind turbines as distributed reactive power sources to optimize the power flow in large-scale wind farms and reduce the overall losses of the collector system. A mathematical model of loss optimization for the wind farm collector system...
