Abstract

This paper presents steady-state performance analysis of a commercial wind farm in Taiwan through field measurement results and computer simulations. The companion paper in Part II discusses the employment of current-limit reactors and load tap changers on power-quality improvement of the studied wind farm. With twenty-three 2-MW DFIG-type wind turbine generators, this wind farm is connected to the 161-kV extra high-voltage substation of Taiwan Power System through a 23/161-kV, 60-MVA step-up main transformer from six feeders. Through comparing field measured results, this paper establishes a simulation model to simulate and analyze the steady-state characteristics of the studied wind farm under disturbance conditions.
