Abstract: This paper deals with the study of reactive power management system for wind power plant. In the wind power plant, there is a need of reactive power for the process of developing rotating magnetic field in the induction generator. If the value of reactive power provided to the wind power plant is not sufficient than there occurs a voltage collapse in the electric power system and the occurrence of voltage collapse results in blackout. Therefore, this paper focus on the management of reactive power needs by the wind power plant in such a way that it could fulfil the requirement of power plant in a most efficient way without undergoing into voltage collapse.
Keywords: Reactive Power, Active Power, Voltage Collapse, Induction Generator, Reactive Power Management.
