Self-Excitation and Harmonics in Wind Power Generation E. Muljadi ， C. P. Butterfield National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, Colorado 80401 H.

Yinger Southern California Edison,Rosemead, California 91770 Traditional wind turbines are commonly equipped with induction generators because they are inexpensive, rugged, and require very little maintenance. Unfortunately, induction generators require reactive power from the grid to operate，capacitor compensation is often used. Because the level of required reactive power varies with the output power, the capacitor compensation must be adjusted as the output power varies. The interactions among the wind turbine, the power network, and the capacitor compensation are important aspects of wind generation that may result in self-excitation and higher harmonic content in the output current. This paper examines the factors that control these phenomena and gives some guidelines on how they can be controlled or eliminated. 1．Introduction Many of today’s operating wind turbines have fixed speed induction generators that are very reliable, rugged, and low cost. During normal operation, an induction machine requires reactive power from the grid at all times. The most commonly used reactive power compensation is capacitor compensation. It is static, low cost. Different sizes of capacitors are generally needed for different levels of generation. Although reactive power compensation can be beneficial to the overall operation of wind turbines, we should be sure the compensation is the proper size and provides proper control. Two important aspects of capacitor compensation, self-excitation and harmonics ,are the subjects of this paper. 2．Power System Network Description A diagram representing this system is shown in Fig(1). The power system components analyzed include the following: ? An infinite bus and a long line connecting the wind turbine to the substation
