Abstract

This paper is focused on the computation of the reactive power generated by wind turbines when they are submitted to a voltage dip in the framework of the new Grid Codes. Taking advantage of the voltage dips field tests carried out to the Gamesa G80 wind turbines, several definitions of reactive power are calculated and the results obtained for a representative three-phase voltage dip test are presented.
