A Hierarchical Harmonic Control Method for Wind Power Plants in Microgrids

For multibus wind power plants in microgrids, it is challenging to develop a reliable, effective, and robust harmonic suppression method for harmonic voltages and currents of all buses. This paper proposes a hierarchical harmonic control method to mitigate the harmonic voltages and currents of all buses in grid-forming wind power plants. The proposed method effectively reduces the terminal harmonic voltages and currents, PCC harmonic voltage, and grid harmonic current. It achieves adaptive harmonic mitigation and automatic harmonic current sharing between wind turbine units according to the rated capacity and feeder impedance of each unit. The effectiveness of the method is verified in the planned Turkish offshore wind power plant by simulation in Digsilent/PowerFactory.
