3.3 Simulati<strong>on</strong> Results with One and Two Aggregate WTGs Model with DFIG<br />

In this secti<strong>on</strong>, the wind farm <strong>VAR</strong> c<strong>on</strong>trol performance is presented with the wind farm model<br />

utilizing <strong>on</strong>e or two aggregate WTGs with doubly fed inducti<strong>on</strong> machines. The supervisory<br />

<strong>VAR</strong> c<strong>on</strong>trol implementati<strong>on</strong> with two aggregate WTGs was performed using a user model<br />

written in the GE PSLF s<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>tware program. Figure 3-6 shows the supervisory c<strong>on</strong>trol structure<br />

and wind farm representati<strong>on</strong>. The <strong>VAR</strong> c<strong>on</strong>trol functi<strong>on</strong>s to regulate the voltage at the POI by<br />

calculating the required total reactive power from the wind farm generators. Then, it allocates a<br />

reactive power command to each aggregated WTG according to the respective MVA base, i.e.,<br />

the number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> individual WTGs in service in each aggregate model.<br />
