Harmonics in Offshore Wind Power Plants - Application of Power Electronic Devices in Transmission Systems

Thisbook reports on cutting-edge findings regarding harmonic stability assessmentfor offshore wind power plants (OWPPs). It presents a timely investigation ofthe harmonic stability interaction between OWPPs on the one hand, andassociated control systems in the wind turbines and other power electronicdevices in the transmission system on the other. The book particularly focuseson voltage-sourced converter high-voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) and staticcompensator (STATCOM) systems. From a practical perspective, the book reportson appropriate models for power electronic devices. It describes how thefrequency domain evaluation approach can be assessed by comparing resultsobtained with the Nyquist stability criterion against the more detailed electromagnetictransient based model realized in the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation program. The bookalso provides a concise yet complete overview of large OWPPs that incorporatepower electronic devices on a broad scale, and highlights selected challengesand opportunities in the context of real-world applications.

Summary

This
book reports on cutting-edge findings regarding harmonic stability assessment
for offshore wind power plants (OWPPs). It presents a timely investigation of
the harmonic stability interaction between OWPPs on the one hand, and
associated control systems in the wind turbines and other power electronic
devices in the transmission system on the other. The book particularly focuses
on voltage-sourced converter high-voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) and static
compensator (STATCOM) systems. From a practical perspective, the book reports
on appropriate models for power electronic devices. It describes how the
frequency domain evaluation approach can be assessed by comparing results
obtained with the Nyquist stability criterion against the more detailed electromagnetic
transient based model realized in the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation program. The book
also provides a concise yet complete overview of large OWPPs that incorporate
power electronic devices on a broad scale, and highlights selected challenges
and opportunities in the context of real-world applications.
