Reliability modeling and analysis of wind turbine systems and wind farms in bulk power systems

This dissertation addresses the modeling of wind turbine systems (WTS) and wind farms. The WTS reliability model provides the generation state space of a WTS. The generation states are derived from the combinations of the wind states from given wind data and the condition states of each component in a WTS. Wake effect is accounted when there are neighboring WTSs. The results of the reliability model of a WTS are associated with the generation states of the WTS, which include the probability, transition rates to other states, frequency of transitions to other states, and duration. The reliability model of the wind farm is derived by combining the wind states, WTS states and the distribution line states. The results of the reliability model of a wind farm are associated with the generation states of the wind farm, which include the probability, transition rates to other states, frequency to other states, and duration. The reliability model of the wind turbine system and the reliability model of the wind farm presented in this dissertation bring contribution to the planning and operation of bulk power systems with wind farm integration. The developed models can provide the system operator with clear reliability indices in terms of generation states of wind turbine systems and wind farms along with their probability, duration and frequency of transitions.
