Modeling wind power plants in harmonic resonance study - A case study in Thailand

Harmonic resonance phenomenon is a problem paid attention significantly from utilities and system engineers for many years. Nowadays, wind power is the leading renewable source, which is considered as the solution for a clean and sustainable resource; however, this integration of wind power plants into grids brings challenges for harmonic resonance study. This paper compares available methods and their pros and cons for modeling wind power plants in harmonic resonance study. Simulation results are verified with actual measurement data to present the performance among these methods. From the verification, the paper suggests the suitable method for modeling wind power plants in harmonic resonance study.
