현재 세계적으로 풍력터빈의 설치 용량이 점차 증가함에 따라 계통에 연계되는 에너지양 또한 급격하게 증가하였다. 풍력터빈의 크기 및 수가 적었던 예전에는 전형적인 분산형 전원으로서 계통에 소규모 외란이 발생하였을 경우, 풍력터빈은 운전이 정지되었으며 그로 인해 계통에 미치는 영향은 거의 무시될 수 있었다. 하지만 최근에는 계통에 영향을 줄 만큼 풍력발전단지가 증가함에 따라 계통 외란에 대해서 운전을 정지하지 않고 계통에 협조하는 특별한 형태로 그 역할이 변경되고 있다. 그래서 이미 많은 나라에서는 그 나라에 맞는 계통연계규정(Grid Code)을 만들어 풍력터빈들이 계통에 미치는 영향에 대해 재평가가 이루어지고 있으며 이제는 짧은 순간의 계통 외란에서도 풍력터빈은 지속적인 운전을 해야 하는 LVRT 기능을 법제화하고 있는 추세이다.

In order to meet the low voltage ride-through requirement in a grid code, a wind power plant (WPP) has to stay connected to a grid, supporting the voltage recovery for a grid fault. To do this, a plant-level controller as well as a wind generator (WG) controller is essential. The dynamic response of a WPP should be analyzed in order to design a plant-level controller. The dynamic response of a WPP for a grid fault is the collective response of all WGs, which depends on the wind speed approaching the WG. Thus, the dynamic response of a WPP should be analyzed by taking the wake effect into consideration, because different wind speeds at WGs will result in different responses of the WPP. This paper analyzes the response of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based offshore WPP with a grid fault taking into account the wake effect. To obtain the approaching wind speed of a WG in a WPP, we considered the cumulative impact of multiple shadowing and the effect of the wind direction. The voltage, reactive power, and active power at the point of common coupling of a 100 MW DFIG-based offshore WPP were analyzed during and after a grid fault under various wind and fault conditions using an EMTP-RV simulator. The results clearly demonstrate that not considering the wake effect leads to significantly different results, particularly for the reactive power and active power, which could potentially lead to incorrect conclusions and / or control schemes for a WPP.
