• FIG. 4b shows a schematic representation of the harmonics 480 of a preferred embodiment of a wind farm according to the invention according to FIG. 4a. To simplify the illustration, only the amplitudes of the respective frequency component of the first three harmonics are shown schematically in p.u. displayed.
• Each wind turbine of the wind farm according to the invention generates a partial flow having harmonics 482a, 482b, 482c. These add up in the parking network to a total current to be fed, which also has harmonics 484.
• the active compensation unit of a wind turbine modulates the compensation component so that, when the non-compensating substreams comprising the harmonics 488b, 488c are superimposed, and the compensating substreams comprising the harmonics 488a, a total current to be injected is generated which specifically produces harmonics 390 has.
• the total current to be supplied by the proposed wind farm thus has some harmonics 390 at the grid connection point, the multiplicity of remaining harmonics being minimized.
• FIG. 5 shows a schematic process sequence 500 of a method according to the invention for feeding a total electrical current at a grid connection point into an electrical supply network by means of a wind farm according to the invention.
• a first step 510 the harmonics of a reference current at a reference point, in particular at the grid connection point, are detected, for example by digital means for detecting harmonics and currents.
• the harmonics detected in this way are transferred to the active compensation units or the compensation wind energy systems, which is indicated by the line 515, and evaluated if necessary.
• the active compensation units which are preferably set up on the low-voltage side of the compensation wind energy installation, in a next step 520 modulate the compensation components in such a way that the harmonics detected at the reference point are at least reduced or compensated. This can also be done for example by a target value specification.
• the method according to the invention is a feedback control method in which the reference current is tracked to a desired current. This is indicated in Fig. 5 by the dashed line 531.
• FIG. 6 shows a schematic process sequence 600 of a further method according to the invention for feeding a total electrical current at a grid connection point into an electrical supply network by means of a method according to the invention.
• a first step 610 the harmonics of a reference voltage are detected at a reference point in the supply network, for example by digital means for detecting harmonics and voltages.
• compensation harmonics are calculated in a further step 620 as a function of the harmonics detected at the reference point.
• Compensation harmonics are in particular those harmonics which at least partially generate an attenuation of the total harmonics in superimpositions with other harmonics. The phase position of these harmonics are ideally phase-shifted by 180 ° to the harmonics to be compensated.
• harmonic setpoint values are determined from the calculated compensation harmonics for at least one active compensation unit of a wind energy plant of the wind farm in order to generate the determined compensation harmonics by means of the active compensation unit.
• the harmonic setpoint values are transferred in a further step 640 to the at least one active compensation unit.
• the at least one active compensation unit subsequently generates a compensation component to be modulated by means of which the upper oscillations at the reference point in the supply network are at least partially compensated.
• the wind farm thus feeds specifically with certain harmonics depending on a target specification in the supply network at the grid connection point.
• the detection of harmonics 610 includes checking 612 whether there is harmonic, in particular, whether predetermined limits have been exceeded. In particular, the 5th, 7th, 1st, 13th, 17th and / or 19th harmonics are observed here. If such harmonics are detected, it is then optionally possible to generate the compensation components for compensating for these harmonics.
• Specific harmonics in the supply network are thus monitored in a targeted manner and compensated by means of a wind farm according to the invention. For this purpose, the wind farm in particular at the grid connection point specifically modulated harmonics.
• testing for harmonics includes a divergence analysis of the harmonics. If the method converges to reduce the harmonics while performing the method, the method is continued Y. If, however, a divergence N of the harmonics detected, ie a swinging of the supply network in the range of harmonics, the calculated target values are retained. The generation of the compensation components is thus frozen in their last target value, which is indicated by the line F.
• the divergence of the harmonics may then either continue to be monitored and continue upon detection of converging decaying harmonics, or the process is suspended by means of a deadband for a period of time, and the process then begins again automatically after the dead time has elapsed.
• the method according to the invention is a feedback control method in which the reference current is tracked to a desired current. This is indicated in Fig. 6 by the dashed line 691.
