Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to present a simulation model for assessing the impacts of a variable speed wind turbine (VSWT) on the distribution network and perform a simulation analysis of volt-age profiles and harmonics along the wind turbine installed feeder using the presented model. The modeled wind energy conversion system consists of a fixed pitch wind turbine and a permanent-magnet synchronous generator, in which a controllable power electronics inverter performs variable speed operation and reactive power output control. Impact analysis on voltage profiles and harmonics of a VSWT-installed distribution feeder is addressed and simulated in terms of steady state and dynamic behaviors. Various capacities and different modes of variable speed wind turbines are simulated and investigated. Case studies demonstrate how feeder voltages are influenced by capacity and control modes of wind turbines and changes in wind speed under various network conditions, and show harmonic impacts on the feeder. Modeling and simulation analysis is based on PSCAD/EMTDC a software package.

본 논문의 목적은 가변속 풍력터빈이 배전망에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위한 모의해석 모델을 제시하고 제시된 모델을 사용하여 배전망에서의 전력품질에 대한 모의해석을 수행하는 것이다. 모델링된 풍력발전 시스템은 고정피치각을 갖는 풍력터빈과 영구자석형 동기발전기로 구성되며 전력전자 인버터에 의해 가변속 운전 및 무효전력 출력제어가 이루어진다. 풍력터빈 연계에 의한 전압변동 및 고조파 문제를 언급하며, 그 영향에 대하여 제시한 모델을 사용하여 정상상태 및 동특성 해석을 수행한다. 다양한 용량과 다른 출력제어방식의 가변속 풍력터빈을 이용하여 모의하고 평가한다. 사례연구들을 통해 각기 다른 계통상태에서 풍속의 변동 및 다른 출력제어방식에 따른 배전망의 전압변동에 미치는 영향과 고조파 문제를 보여준다. 모델링 및 모의는 PSCAD/EMTDC 프로그램을 기반으로 하여 수행한다.
