Wind power harmonic aggregation of multiple turbines in power bins

Abstract

The paper presents current harmonic and interharmonic measurement of a Type-IV wind turbine. Characterizations and classifications have been performed with the representation of harmonics and interharmonics in a complex plane. The study of aggregations due to the summation of complex currents has been performed based on Monte-Carlo Simulation for harmonics and interharmonics. Aggregations occur less for low-order harmonics, more for high-order harmonics and most for interharmonics. Aggregations are shown to be largely independent of the produced power.

Harmonic Aggregation Techniques

“…Street lamps and their aggregated harmonic current are studied in Aggregation of current harmonics in wind farms which is due to the time-varying behavior of wind causing varying currents and inverter voltage harmonics is studied in [20,21].…”
