The Study of Wind Farm’s Equivalence Method and Verification

Abstract:

When the scale of wind farm is increased quickly, if not considering the impedance of the collection system within wind farm, the bigger error in power flow calculation may be caused. In this paper a simple equivalence method calculating the collector system equivalence impedance by using the equivalence power loss is proposed and wind farm’s equivalence output power model considering wake effect and wind speed is established. The models are applied in power flow calculation of the natural wind farm connected to Urumqi grid, Xinjiang. The results compared with original system power flow show that this method has lower error. By using the losses in the collector system, the method of computing the equivalence impedance is verified in this paper. The equivalence impedance of collector system is calculated from total active power loss and total reactive power loss and current flow of the collector system. The error analysis showed that the equivalence impedance of collector system has lower error. The test results show that the proposed equivalence method is effective and logical and has a certain practicality. The reference is given for farther studying safety and stability operation of electric power system including wind farm.
