Dynamic equivalent modeling for wind farms with DFIGs using the artificial bee colony with K-means algorithm

Abstract

With the increasing penetration of wind power, it is recognized that wind power will have a greater and greater impact on the planning and operation of the original power system. And the detailed modeling of wind farm with doubly-fed induction wind generator (DFIG) will require large storage and computation resources, which poses technical challenges for equivalent modeling of wind farm. In this paper, a multi-machine dynamic equivalent modeling method for wind farms with DFIGs is proposed. First, the artificial bee colony with k-means (ABC-KM) algorithm is proposed to improve the effectiveness of wind farm clustering. Second, the operating data composed of wind speed, pitch angle, rotor angular velocity, rotor current, real-time active and reactive power are selected as clustering indicators. A wind farm with DFIGs is divided into several groups and DFIGs in the same group are clustered as one DFIG through equivalent parameter aggregation. The proposed wind farm modeling method consisting of clustering method and clustering indicators is verified by comparing the simulation results of equivalent and detailed models at steady-state and dynamic-state cases.
