Optimization of reactive power flow in a wind farm-connected electric power system

M. Tech. Electrical Engineering.One of the main issues in the integration of large wind power generation into the electric power networks is the voltage drop at the point of common connection (PCC) and the increase in power losses as well. This work deals with the optimization of the reactive power control in a power system with integration of a wind farm with the aim of minimizing the total active power losses and improving the load voltage profile
