3.4 Test conditions The measurements took place from 2007-05-11 to 2008-08-07 at Ijmuiden. The wind conditions during this time period were suitable for testing the full power range and met the conditions of the IEC 61400-21 [1].

3.4.1 Short circuit power and total harmonic distortion

The short circuit apparent power at the point of connection to the medium voltage network shall be 50 times the apparent power at Pmc (maximum permitted power) of the assessed wind turbine according for the IEC 61400-21 [1]. The value for the short circuit power was not provided by the manufacturer.

Moreover, the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the voltage including all harmonics up to the order of 50 shall be less than 5 % measured as 10-min-average data at the wind turbine terminals while the wind farm is not connected to the grid. Before the start of the measurements the total harmonic distortion of the voltage was determined by means of measurement to be less than 0.56 %.

3.4.2 Turbulence intensity

The turbulence intensity was determined by means of measurements using the met mast and is graphically represented in figure 3.4.1. The measurements of the windspeed were done on an external measurement mast. For this measurement the results range from 8 % to 16 %. According to the IEC only data may be taken in account where the turbulence intensity lies between 8 % and 16%. In this case the raw data were not filtered dependant on turbulence intensity, as the effect of the turbulence intensity on the measurement results is regarded as being insignificant.

3.4.3 Voltage fluctuation

According to the IEC the voltage shall be within ± 5% of its nominal value measured as 10-min-average data at the wind turbine terminals. Figure 3.4.2 shows the fluctuation of the 10-min-average values of the voltage around the rated phase-to-neutral voltage of 86.6 kV. Some values were out of the limits. These datasets have been excluded of the analysis.

3.5 Used data The analysis of the measured datasets is divided in two parts: The first part (chapter 4) includes the datasets which were recorded when only 35 wind turbines were connected. The number of 35 was choosen, because this is the highest number of continuously connected turbines. The second part (chapter 5-8) includes all measured datasets which fullfill the test conditions according to the IEC 61400-21. The flicker analysis of these datasets is subdivided in four different bands of wind speed:

• 0-6 m/s • 6-11 m/s • 11-16 m/s • 16-20 m/s

The wind speed signal of the met mast were aquired in front of the wind farm in the main wind direction so were some wind shadow effects in other directions. That�s why there are some power values with lower windspeed. The maximum of all of these 600-second-average active power values, P600, together with the ratio of this to the nominal output power of the turbine is given in table 4.1.4.

Table 4.2.1: Specification of the flicker measurement To determine the flicker short term values Pst, a single-phase network which is modelling a fictitious grid with the following parameters was used:

• Un = 150 kV

• Sk,fic = 20 * Sn = 20 * 35 * 3 MVA = 2,1 GVA

• ψk = 30°, 50°, 70°, 85°

Using network modelling, the measured line current and the measured star voltage, a flicker burdened voltage was calculated for each line and for the four above mentioned angles ψk. These voltages comprise the input of the flicker algorithm according to IEC 61000-4-15 [2]. The result is a short term flicker value Pst. Using the above mentioned method Pst-values were determined for a power range which corresponds to a wind speed range from cut-in wind speed up to 15 m/s. The following four figures show the Pst values for the individual grid impedance angles against wind speed.

For each network impedance phase angle ψk, the weighting procedure then calculates the weighted accumulated distribution functions of the flicker coefficients, Pr(c<x), assuming four different wind speed distributions. Pr(c<x) represents the distribution of flicker coefficients that would have been obtained if the measurements had been performed on a site with Rayleigh distributed wind speed of mean va. The weighted accumulated distribution of the flicker coefficient values is given by:

5.2 Voltage fluctuations The specifications given in table 5.2.1 are valid for the following subsections. Only data associated with the continuous operation of the wind turbine were taken into account for the evaluation of flicker.

Table 5.2.1: Specification of the flicker measurement To determine the flicker short term values Pst, a single-phase network which is modelling a fictitious grid with the following parameters was used:

• Un = 150 kV

• Sk,fic = 20 * Sn = 20 * 36 * 3 MVA = 2,16 GVA

• ψk = 30°, 50°, 70°, 85°

Using network modelling, the measured line current and the measured star voltage, a flicker burdened voltage was calculated for each line and for the four above mentioned angles ψk. These voltages comprise the input of the flicker algorithm according to IEC 61000-4-15 [2]. The result is a short term flicker value Pst. Using the above mentioned method Pst-values were determined for a power range which corresponds to a wind speed range from 0 m/s up to 6 m/s. The following four figures show the Pst values for the individual grid impedance angles against wind speed.

For each network impedance phase angle ψk, the weighting procedure then calculates the weighted accumulated distribution functions of the flicker coefficients, Pr(c<x), assuming four different wind speed distributions. Pr(c<x) represents the distribution of flicker coefficients that would have been obtained if the measurements had been performed on a site with Rayleigh distributed wind speed of mean va. The weighted accumulated distribution of the flicker coefficient values is given by:

Table 6.2.1: Specification of the flicker measurement To determine the flicker short term values Pst, a single-phase network which is modelling a fictitious grid with the following parameters was used:

• Un = 150 kV

• Sk,fic = 20 * Sn = 20 * 36 * 3 MVA = 2,16 GVA

• ψk = 30°, 50°, 70°, 85°

Using network modelling, the measured line current and the measured star voltage, a flicker burdened voltage was calculated for each line and for the four above mentioned angles ψk. These voltages comprise the input of the flicker algorithm according to IEC 61000-4-15 [2]. The result is a short term flicker value Pst. Using the above mentioned method Pst-values were determined for a power range which corresponds to a wind speed range from 6 m/s up to 11 m/s. The following four figures show the Pst values for the individual grid impedance angles against wind speed.

For each network impedance phase angle ψk, the weighting procedure then calculates the weighted accumulated distribution functions of the flicker coefficients, Pr(c<x), assuming four different wind speed distributions. Pr(c<x) represents the distribution of flicker coefficients that would have been obtained if the measurements had been performed on a site with Rayleigh distributed wind speed of mean va. The weighted accumulated distribution of the flicker coefficient values is given by:

Table 7.2.1: Specification of the flicker measurement To determine the flicker short term values Pst, a single-phase network which is modelling a fictitious grid with the following parameters was used:

• Un = 150 kV

• Sk,fic = 20 * Sn = 20 * 36 * 3 MVA = 2,16 GVA

• ψk = 30°, 50°, 70°, 85°

Using network modelling, the measured line current and the measured star voltage, a flicker burdened voltage was calculated for each line and for the four above mentioned angles ψk. These voltages comprise the input of the flicker algorithm according to IEC 61000-4-15 [2]. The result is a short term flicker value Pst. Using the above mentioned method Pst-values were determined for a power range which corresponds to a wind speed range from 11 m/s up to 16 m/s. The following four figures show the Pst values for the individual grid impedance angles against wind speed.

For each network impedance phase angle ψk, the weighting procedure then calculates the weighted accumulated distribution functions of the flicker coefficients, Pr(c<x), assuming four different wind speed distributions. Pr(c<x) represents the distribution of flicker coefficients that would have been obtained if the measurements had been performed on a site with Rayleigh distributed wind speed of mean va. The weighted accumulated distribution of the flicker coefficient values is given by:

Table 8.2.1: Specification of the flicker measurement To determine the flicker short term values Pst, a single-phase network which is modelling a fictitious grid with the following parameters was used:

• Un = 150 kV

• Sk,fic = 20 * Sn = 20 * 36 * 3 MVA = 2,16 GVA

• ψk = 30°, 50°, 70°, 85°

Using network modelling, the measured line current and the measured star voltage, a flicker burdened voltage was calculated for each line and for the four above mentioned angles ψk. These voltages comprise the input of the flicker algorithm according to IEC 61000-4-15 [2]. The result is a short term flicker value Pst. Using the above mentioned method Pst-values were determined for a power range which corresponds to a wind speed range from 16 m/s up to 24 m/s. The following four figures show the Pst values for the individual grid impedance angles against wind speed.

For each network impedance phase angle ψk, the weighting procedure then calculates the weighted accumulated distribution functions of the flicker coefficients, Pr(c<x), assuming four different wind speed distributions. Pr(c<x) represents the distribution of flicker coefficients that would have been obtained if the measurements had been performed on a site with Rayleigh distributed wind speed of mean va.

9.2 Errors due to current transformers The employed current probes were calibrated. The respective uncertainty values are shown in table 9.1.1.

9.3 Errors due to voltage transformers The employed voltage probes were calibrated. The respective uncertainty values are shown in table 9.1.1.

9.4 Errors due to the measurement wiring Errors due to the measurement wiring are caused by electromagnetic fields and losses due to the impedance of the wiring. In the case of the current measurement the current clamps provide an active current signal, so that no losses due to impedance were considered. In the case of the voltage measurement, however, the losses due to impedance need to be considered. The error in the voltage measurement could be determined by the impedance of the wire in proportion to the impedance of the isolating amplifier. No significant influences of electromagnetic fields on the measurement system are known. A proper installation of measurement wiring has been carried out in order to avoid inductive couplings.

9.5 Errors due to the isolating amplifier Two different amplifiers were used for the current and the voltage channels. The isolating amplifier for the current is a DEWE-DAQP-V which has an error of 0.05 % from the maximum input level. The isolating amplifier for the voltage is a DEWE-DAQP-DMM � type, which has an error of 0.1 % of the maximum input level.

9.6 Errors due to the A/D � converter The used DEWE 800 + DEWE Rack 16 systems were equipped with a 24 bit A/D � converter module.

9.7 Errors due to the sampling rate and software Shannon�s theorem states that a minimum sampling rate of twice the maximum measured frequency is needed, in order to avoid aliasing effects.

9.7.1 Power measurement

For the determination of the power values, the amplitude- and phase-measurement of currents and voltages at the rated grid frequency have to be performed very accurately.

9.7.2 Flicker measurement

Flicker is based on amplitude modulation on the fundamental frequency. For the flicker effect, only frequencies in the range of 0.1 Hz up to 35 Hz are relevant. Therefore, the flicker measurement only has to allow for a frequency range of 0.1 Hz up to 85 Hz.

10 Summary The V90 - 3 MW is fitted with an active power regulation system, a double fed asynchronous generator and a frequency converter. The electrical properties of the measured wind turbines are reflected in the measurement results. The measurement in the onshore substation Wijk aan Zee of the offshore wind farm Egmond aan Zee was carried out on a 50 Hz grid at a voltage level of 150 kV. The measurements on the wind farm are related to the IEC61400-21, which is only valid for single wind turbines. The analysis has been carried out for four ranges of wind speed and for a stable count of 35 connected wind turbines. This subdivision of the recorded datasets was done, because the wind park shows a different behaviour in the several ranges of wind speed. The stable count of connected turbines was analysed to exclude the effect of switching turbines.
