“…Indeed, during steady state performance, generating plants should be able to operate at different power factors (leading or lagging) depending on the voltage level at the point of common coupling. Besides, following voltage dips, wind turbines should remain connected to the grid and must supply reactive power and participate to the voltage regulation [3], [15]. Much research effort has focused on the stability and development of new control schemes for the CDFIG [4,8,12,13], yet no consideration has been given to define the safe operating domain of the generator, with regards to its ratings, and its contribution to reactive power generation required by grid codes.…”
