Assessment method of wind farm harmonic emission value based on improved complex linear regression model

Abstract

Wind turbine filter and reactive power compensation devices lead to the harmonic impedance of wind farm is not much larger than that of the utility, so the influence by the wind farm harmonic impedance can not be neglected while assessing the harmonic emission value of wind farm A method based on improved complex linear regression is proposed in this paper for assessing the harmonic emission value of wind farm. The linear regression model is established by using the harmonic current at PCC point as the explanatory variable and the harmonic voltage of the wind farm as the explanatory variable. The utility harmonic impedance is calculated by complex least squares method. For various of the topology of wind farm feeder network, an equivalent method of feeder network is proposed to calculate the wind farm harmonic impedance. Errors are analyzed by using the error marginal effect of the dispersion parameter. Simulation and measured data verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
