UTILITY GRID STABILIZATION APPARATUS AND METHOD,AS WELL AS WIND POWER GENERATING SYSTEM

摘要

It is an object to supply stable reactive power without requiring large-scale civil engineering work. The invention provides a utility grid stabilization apparatus to be applied to a generating system including a generator having a squirrel-cage induction generator to generate electric power using natural energy and a connection switching section provided between the generator and a utility grid to switch between connection and disconnection of the generator and the utility grid to and from each other, the apparatus including a reactive power regulating section for supplying or absorbing reactive power to or from the utility grid when voltage of the utility grid satisfies a preset variation condition and the generator is disconnected from the utility grid.
