Abstract:
A wind turbine system is configured to supply real and reactive power to a grid and includes a tower, and a generator within a nacelle configured atop the tower. The generator is connected to a rotor, which is connected to a hub that includes a plurality of turbine blades mounted thereon. A power converter is configured at a location within the tower. A reactive power compensation device is also configured at the location within the tower, the reactive power compensation device operably configured with the power converter so as to provide reactive power in combination with reactive power generated by the power converter.
