The invention provides a double-fed wind power plant adaptive reactive power compensation operation method. The method comprises the following steps: the step 1, the reactive power upper limit Qigmax of each wind turbine generator and the reactive power limit Qwfmax of the double-fed wind power plant are acquired; the step 2, the reactive power demand reference value Qdem of the double-fed wind power plant is calculated according to the grid-connected point voltage offset delta U%; the step 3, if the Qdem is less than or equal to the Qwfmax, then the number k of the wind turbine generator subjected to reactive power compensation according to the reactive power demand reference valueQdem, and the reactive power reference value of each wind turbine generator is acquired; the step 4, if the Qdem is greater than the Qwfmax, then the n wind turbine generators are subjected to reactive power compensation at the same time, and the reactive power reference value of each wind turbine generator is acquired; and the step 5, the reactive power reference value is distributed to the wind turbine generator stator side and network side converter respectively to perform reactive power compensation, and then the process returns to the step 1. Compared with the prior art, the double-fed wind power plant adaptive reactive power compensation operation method provided in the invention can be used to reduce the active loss of the wind turbine generators and simplify the power dispatch control system of the wind power plant so as to improve the operation efficiency of the wind power plant.
