Abstract
A control scheme for wind farms based on synchronous
generators connected to a single power converter is
presented. The scheme is applicable to HVDC interfaced offshore
or remote wind farms. The proposed control scheme is based on
computing the optimal wind farm electrical frequency depending
on the different incoming wind speeds. The power converter
regulates the system frequency by adjusting the power injected to
the HVDC circuit. Fault ride-through is also possible by reducing
rapidly the injected active power. The proposed scheme is validated
by means of simulations with a wind farm composed of four
wind turbines.
