Onshore windfarm generic models and sensitivity analysis methods for harmonic studies

To facilitate the integration of renewable energy, RTE must connect new substations where multiple onshore wind power plants are connected at a distribution voltage level. These substations can be connected to the transmission grid with long underground cables, which can lead to harmonic amplification issues. To compensate for the lack of data on the distribution level of wind generators, RTE developed generic harmonic models for conducting harmonic studies and sensitivity analysis. This presentation will focus on the wind farm models, sensitivity analysis models, and results related to understanding which parameters influence harmonic amplification factors.
