Currents' physical components (CPC) concept in wind farm harmonic current studies

Sainz Sapera, Luis,Cunill Solà, Jordi

Abstract

Very little information about actual wind farm harmonic measurements is available in the literature. This paper analyzes the harmonic measurements of an 18 MW wind farm with the CPC concept to determine if they are consumed or injected by the wind farm and to study the different reactive power definitions. The CPC concept is an approach to power theory that provides a physical interpretation of power phenomena in electrical systems with linear, time-invariant (LTI) loads and harmonic generating loads (HGLs) such as wind farms.
