Power Quality Prediction, Early Warning, and Control for Points of Common Coupling with Wind Farms

Wind farms can affect the power quality (PQ) of the power supply grid, with subsequent impacts on the safe and stable operation of other electrical equipment. A novel PQ prediction, early warning, and control approach for the common coupling points between wind farms and the network is proposed in t...
