Harmonic resonance is among imperative aspect need to be analyzed in a wind power plant (WPP). It becomes complex since it involves a large network with high operating power. This paper presents a study on harmonic resonances in a WPP, particularly on parallel resonance. Important factors including length of cable, number of operating wind turbine and usage of output grid-side filter are analyzed. The damping of resonance by using common passive filter and an alternative hybrid filter is also explored. An aggregated WPP model of 400 MW with 40 wind turbines of 10 MW each are used as a study casePostprint (published version

Abstract.Energy harvesting from the ocean called 'blue energy' began in the 1970's and should have reached its peak by today, but due to varying interests in the field and the growing potentials of other sources, its development was delayed. Recently, it receives more interest and a number of institutes has deployed their pilot plant. Blue energy is a type of renewable energy based on salinity gradient where power is generated from different salt concentration in saltwater (the ocean) and freshwater (river). When the mixing of seawater and freshwater occurs, an increase in the entropy of this system is observed and free energy is dissipated. This research aims to identify and compare existing techniques or methods of blue energy harvesting developed over time. Five different techniques were reviewed, looking at their principle of operation, configuration and performance. Based on the review, capacitive mixing method was selected for further analysis. Experiment was conducted to evaluate different factor including the concentration of sea water, volumes and type of electrodes. The highest output power obtained is 89.7 mW, while the average is about 30 mW.

Harmonic resonance is one of an important aspect being considered in a large network such as a wind power plant (WPP). This paper analyses several factors that affect resonance characteristic in a WPP and possible mitigation measures. The first part of the paper provides an analysis of resonances in WPP. Two methods of identifying resonances are performed which are a common impedance scan method and a harmonic resonance modal method for different operating conditions. Several factors that affect resonances including the usage of passive filters as harmonic mitigation in the network are analyzed. A case study of a 400 MW offshore wind power plant is analyzed for the harmonic resonance including with the integration of a passive filter.

A detailed harmonic resonance analysis of power systems is more and more important due to the increasing number of power electronic devices. The topic is especially wellgrounded\ud in wind power plants that besides having several possible sources of harmonics have many inductive and capacitive elements. This combination forms a severe concern\ud over harmonic resonance that composes a threat to the power quality and the function of wind power plants. This paper presents and applies the harmonic resonance mode analysis (HRMA) in a model of an off shore wind power plant with and without a passive filtering. The results of the harmonic\ud resonance mode analysis are verified and compared with the results calculated with the frequency scan.Postprint (published version
