Abstract
Wind power plants (WPPs) must fulfil Grid Code specified
reactive power requirements at their connection points.
Thus all the WPP components' influence on reactive power
capability counts. The WPP main transformer On-Load Tap
Changer (OLTC) control settings or control scheme can be
optimized in critical borderline cases, possibly enabling
sufficient
reactive power capability just by a mere control setting
adjustment. The influence of OLTC control voltage
reference parameter values is studied related to WPP
reactive power
capability, and noted that even a relatively small
marginal influence makes a difference under certain
circumstances. In addition, a method for determining the
optimal OLTC voltage
control parameter values is introduced and demonstrated
successfully on an example Test Case.
