An Energy Loss Calculating Method for Wind Power System Based on the Shape Factor

The large-scale access of the new energy makes various changes to the power system characteristics. For example, the acute volatility of the new energy such as wind power and photovoltaic energy makes the power-loss-calculation for the system more complex. The traditional typical daily method is inaccurate when used in new energy system because of its overlook of the generator output volatility. This paper proposes a new power-loss-calculation method for wind power system which based on the shape factor and gain a more accurate result. On the basis of this new calculating method, finds that the shape factor of the wind power plant for an hour period usually falls in a certain range. Therefore, proposes to directly use the expectation of shape factor in whole year to compute the annual energy loss with at least two values and once power flow calculation. And the acceptable relative error proves its large engineering practicability.
