Power Quality Measurement and Evaluation of a Wind Farm Connected to Distribution Grid

Abstract

Wind power can bring new challenges when it is connected to the power grid. Generated power from wind energy system is always fluctuating due to the fluctuations in the wind. This paper shows a study on Power Quality (PQ) analysis of wind turbines installed in Hatay region and has been working for three years. Power quality parameters such as voltage, current, active, reactive and apparent power and harmonics are measured, analyzed and evaluated taking into consideration IEEE 519-1992 standards. These parameters are continuously measured for three months. The recorded parameters are voltage and current rms values of all single phase for every 10 power frequency cycles, average values of current and voltage harmonics every 3 sec, active, reactive, and apparent power values and the power factor every second.

Power Quality Issues and Mitigation for Electric Grids with Wind Power Penetration

“…An example is given in Ref. [32] which investigates the effect of connecting DVR to a WTG-driven DFIG to allow uninterruptible fault ride-through of voltage dips fulfilling the grid code requirements. The system performance exercises a two-phase 37% voltage dip of 100 milliseconds duration.…”

“…Güneş dünyada her alanda kullanılmaktadır; aydınlatma, ısıtma, enerji vs. birçok alanda güneş enerjisine ihtiyaç duyulmakta ve kullanılmaktadır. (Yıldız C., 2015) Güneş ve rüzgâr enerjisi, elektrik üretmek için en ideal yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarıdır. Doğada her zaman güneş ve rüzgâr bulunmamaktadır.…”

Impact Study of Wind Generation on power quality of Electrical Power Grid (Jordan Wind Farm Case Study)

“…Effective mitigation of the climatic change necessary requires a huge reduction in the greenhouse gas emissions. The use of cost effective and reliable low carbon electricity generation sources becomes an important aim of energy policy in around world'scountries [1] [2]. *Renewable Energy resources like solar radiation and wind energy are desirable for environmental causes (e.g.…”

“…Other areas in the literature are the power quality indices and the location of measurements. According to [1], power quality issues of wind plants at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) with the HV transmission network were investigated. Voltage, current, frequency, active, reactive and apparent power, evaluation and analysis of power factor and harmonics were based on IEEE 519-1992.…”
