Abstract

This paper presents a groundbreaking power distribution technique that focuses on the loss rate of individual wind turbines. Distinct from conventional methods, our strategy prioritizes seamless integration and adaptability within wind farm management systems. By evaluating power losses in specific branches of a wind farm, our approach enhances overall performance by strategically allocating reactive power to reduce cumulative losses. When compared to traditional uniform distribution and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) methods, our innovative approach stands out for its superior efficiency and adaptability. Comprehensive simulations underline the strengths and weaknesses of prevailing methods and underscore the superior efficacy of our proposed technique.
