  2. Contents • Onshore Wind Farms • Karnice Wind Farm • Offshore Wind Farms • Horns Rev 2 Offshore Wind Farm • Models of Wind Farm Components • Harmonic Impedance • Karnice Wind Farm Impedance Plots • Horns Rev 2 Impedance Plots • Results Comparison • Harmonic Level at Connection Point • Conclusions

  3. Analysed Wind Farms • Horns Rev 2 and Karnice Wind Farm • Wind farms built and owned by DONG Energy A/S • Two different wind farms: onshore and large offshore • Equipped with the sameSWT-2.3-93 wind turbines • Connected to completely different networks • Wind turbines are equipped with full-scale converters

  4. Onshore Wind Farm- Karnice Wind Farm • Onshore wind situated in the north part of Poland • The wind farm consists 13SWT-2.3-93 wind turbines • Total capacity is 30 MW • Karnice Wind Farm is connecteddirectly to the distributionnetwork

  5. Offshore Wind Farm- Horns Rev 2 Offshore Wind Farm • The biggest offshore windfarm in the world • Situated by the west coastof southern Denmark • The wind farm consists 91SWT-2.3-93 wind turbines • Total capacity is 210 MW • Horns Rev 2 is connected to the network by100 km HVAC submarine and underground cable source: Energinet.dk

  6. Models of Wind Farm Components • High and Medium Voltage Cables • Wind Turbine and Park Transformers • Shunt Reactors • Capacitor Banks • External Network

  7. Models of Wind Farm Components- Medium and High Voltage Cables • Lumped Π and T models • Equivalent Π model • Medium voltage cables equivalent impedance calculated based on aggregated model • Approximation of the skineffect using correctionfactors • Frequency of interest:50Hz – 3 kHz

  8. Models of Wind Farm Components- Wind Turbine and Park Transformers • Harmonic models based on measurements and dataprovided by manufacturers • Models based on frequencysweep analyzer measurements • Measurements performed using FRAX FSA within the confines of internal research projects • Frequency of interest:50Hz – 3 kHz

  9. Models of Wind Farm Components- External Network • Frequency characteristic at the point of common coupling • Different short circuit levels, network configurations considered • Frequency of interest: 50Hz – 3 kHz

  10. Harmonic Impedance- Karnice Wind Farm

  11. Harmonic Impedance- Horns Rev 2 Offshore Wind Farm

  12. Results Comparison

  13. Harmonic Level at Connection Point • Large wind farms significantly change impedance at PCC • Voltage THD much lower during wind farm production • 11th and 13th voltage harmonics change significantly

  14. Conclusions • Offshore wind farms are mainly connected to the transmission network by long HV cables • Offshore wind farms have much more components which have influence on overall system impedance • Medium voltage cables network is much bigger in offshore wind farms • Large offshore wind farms can operate as a power plant and improve power quality at the point of connection • Every large wind farm has to be analysed separately
