Abstract: Simulation and modeling of state var compensators (SVCs) in wind farms are important for integration of large-scale wind power into a local grid. Standard models of reactive dynamic compensation devices in PSS/E software were introduced in detail in the paper, and user-defined modeling methods and skills of SVC controller were summarized. Based on an actual wind farm in northern Hebei, a user-defined model of SVC controllers with constant voltage or reactive power control objectives was established for typical wind farms. Comparison of the simulation and field testing results shows that the user-defined model is accurate and sufficient. Besides, the PSS/E customized modeling method mentioned above is equally applicable to other FACTS’ devices in power systems.
