Harmonics and switching transients in wind parks – towards a better understanding of measurements
This project is aimed at harmonics and switching overvoltages in and near wind farms connected to higher voltage levels. The project is a collaboration between the Electric Power Engineering Group at Luleå University of Technology, Vattenfall R & D, Skellefteå Kraft Production and a number of partners through a reference group.
The need for simulations and measurements for the mentioned phenomena is big, but there are a number of challenges in both, which limit the possibilities. The challenges are strong and one cannot be solved without the others. The purpose of this project is to go a step further with these challenges and to provide guidance for future research in this area. New thinking with the project is the link between challenges in simulations and in measurements.
The project will consist of three specific parts: development of theoretical basis; application to measurements in a number of existing wind farms; dissemination of results.
Funding: Swedish Energy Agency.
Project participants: Vineetha Ravindran, Naser Nakhodchi, Sarah Rönnberg, Math Bollen.
