Abstract

In this paper, the aggregated modelling of large-scale wind farms for harmonic studies is considered. The limitations of the harmonic emission assessment based on the IEC 61000-3-6 summation rule are analysed in a probabilistic framework. An iterative probabilistic procedure based on the Quasi Monte Carlo technique is proposed and applied to a simplified electromagnetic transient model of an exemplary wind power plant. Then, detailed results obtained are used to quantify the above mentioned limitations of the summation rule. Keywords. Aggregated Inverter-Based Resources, Harmonics, IEC summation rule, IEEE St. P2800, Power Quality.
