Abstract
In large wind farms, uneven voltage distribution caused by feeder impedance and turbine spacing may pose safety hazards and reduce operational efficiency. This paper proposes a two-layer voltage coordination optimal control method for wind farms that balances both grid-connection point voltage levels and turbine-end voltage safety. The outer layer tracks voltage commands issued by the AVC master station at the point of common coupling (PCC), while the inner layer establishes a global optimization model considering generator terminal voltage safety. The second-order cone relaxation method converts nonlinear constraints into solvable convex forms. Through a two-layer iterative solution, it achieves optimal allocation of active and reactive power between wind turbines and static var compensators (SVGs) within the field, thereby enhancing the active power output at the wind farm port and increasing the system’s reactive power margin. Simulation results demonstrate that compared to conventional unified power factor control, the proposed method effectively enhances terminal voltage security, increases wind farm power generation, and boosts system reactive power reserve capacity while stably tracking PCC voltage commands.
