【 摘 要 】

In recent years there is increase in the generation of electricity by wind power.The numbers of small size wind farms used as DG sources located within the distribution system are rapidly increasing. In this paper, a novel approach for reactive power output optimization in wind farm for the reduction of distribution losses using genetic algorithm is incorporated. Wind farm made up with doubly fed induction generators (DFIG) is proposed as the continuous reactive power source to support system voltage control due to the reactive power control capability of the DFIG. The genetic algorithm method is utilized for comparison between the distribution losses of the system before the optimization technique and after implementing the optimization technique. Finally the three feeder distribution system is used as test case to evaluate the algorithm.
