Impact Study of Wind Generation on power quality of Electrical Power Grid (Jordan Wind Farm Case Study)
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
Renewable Energy becomes a vital part in modern power system because of; continuous increase of energy demand, global regulations about Co2 emissions, and the slash of the renewable energy prices. Wind energy is a great choice for it is reliability and sustainability. Jordan is a small and ambitious country trying to embrace renewable energy. Jordan Wind Farm (JWF) is the first wind power generation project in Jordan was carried out in Tafilah city. JWF consists of 38 ×3 MW and is connected to 132kV network. Wind energy projects are expected to grow rapidly to fulfill the increasing demand on energy in Jordan. Modern wind turbines are equipped with power converters and permanent magnetic synchronous generators (PMSG). These converters will affect the power quality and harmonic content, which can affect the operation and the reliability of the electrical grid. This paper will study the impact of installing and operating type 4 wind turbines on power quality indices at 132 kv side. Field measurements of power quality indices in JWF substation at Point of Common Coupling, data analysis, and comparison between the measurements and internationals and national standards are carried out. This paper considers several indices such as THD, Crest factor, Harmonic to active power ratio, Voltage imbalance, and Frequency variations. The results show similar results for the loads with the same type. Also, the results show the correlation between the current total harmonic distortion and utility voltages and neutral-to-ground voltage, and between voltage and current imbalance.
