Research and Application of Combined Reactive Power Compensation Device Based on SVG+SC in Wind Power Gathering Area

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

1. The paper proposed a combination of reactive power compensation device based on SVG and capacitor bank, in order to achieve smooth reactive power regulation and the economy of the device.

2. Background of the research is well discussed and the highlighted issue is sufficiently explained. The specific reason for conducting this research topic is addressed clearly. 

3. The research objectives are well stated, robust and measurable. 

4. The methodology is most appropriate. Technically sound and carried with suitable algorithm, mathematical equations, modelling and simulation works.

5.  The analysis used in this study is appropriate and suited to research objectives. The discussion and interpretation correspond well to the results/findings of the study. The analysis and comparison from the simulation results verified the proposed method.

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments:

1.     Each part of Figure 6 needs to be leveled with the corresponding configuration used.

2.     A comparative study concerning the performances of similar research works needs to be added.

 

3.     A total cost analysis of the project needs to be added.

Reviewer 4 Report

In this paper, a combined reactive power compensation device is installed, which is composed of a static var generator (SVG) and a parallel capacitor bank. The SVG has the characteristics of fast and smooth adjustment, and the application of the capacitor bank reduces the overall investment cost and has a great economy.

The title needs to be changed to a more informative one.

Abstract needs to be re-written, background, aim, method, results, and conclusion should be presented in order.

The introduction needs reframing, in its current style, it is not consistent and informative. to do this task follow the stages of background: in which you should talk about the importance of the topic, literature: you should review the previous publications in this field, Research gaps: talk about the gaps in previous research and necessity of your own, aims: present your aims to fill the gaps of research, structure: mention the structure of your paper.

A flowchart is needed in the method section to clearly explain the stream of your methodology.

Then a discussion section is needed and you should compare your finding with other sources and compare the methods with each other.

The conclusion should be: A summary of the paper, highlights of your results and general conclusions from those findings, limitations of the research, and recommandations for future researchs.
