Reactive Power Collaborative Control Strategy and Verification Method for Suppressing Voltage Oscillation in Renewable Energy Clusters
Abstract
The rapid integration of renewable energy into power systems has made voltage oscillations caused by the intermittency of wind and solar power a critical operational challenge. To mitigate these issues, this paper proposes a multi-mode coordinated reactive power control strategy to enhance voltage stability in renewable energy clusters. The approach integrates two key indicators: voltage sensitivity for steady-state regulation and an improved multi-renewable energy station short circuit ratio (MRSCR) that accounts for dynamic power interactions. Validation is conducted using a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platform combining real-time RMS-based simulation with physical controllers. Case studies on an offshore wind cluster demonstrate that the proposed method reduces voltage fluctuation amplitude more effectively than conventional automatic voltage control (AVC), successfully suppressing oscillations. The results confirm that the strategy exhibits stronger adaptability to varying grid conditions and offers a scalable solution for oscillation mitigation in large-scale renewable energy integration.
