Dynamic Equivalence of Wind Farms Considering Complex Terrain

Abstract

The dynamic equivalence of wind farms is widely used for model simplification. While, the accuracy will be lower without considering the influence of wind speed correlation caused by topography and wake effect. In order to improve the accuracy, this paper proposes a dynamic cluster equivalence method of coherent generators based on hierarchical clustering analysis. Firstly, it analyses the impacts of equivalence’s accuracy such as wind speed distribution, wake effect and control strategy of turbine. Then, it uses hierarchical clustering method to correlate the disturbed trajectory of rotor current of the intra-site turbines and obtains the dynamic clustering results. Finally, it uses power loss method to obtain the equivalent parameters of multi-machine equivalent model. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of this method.
