Wind farms must meet mandatory reactive power requirements at their point of common coupling to the transmission network. This can be done either by mean of wind turbines reactive power, or installing capacitor banks. Reactive sharing among the different elements result in different power losses. A module to opmimize the medium voltage network corresponding to the Iberdrola wind farms is developed in this research proyect. This module is incorporated to the HAPER tool, which allows calculating losses in wind farms harvesting networks.
