harmonics from wind generators
harmonics from wind generators
(OP)
There's paper on the web that talks about failures of step-up transformers at wind generator installations. One culprit mentioned is harmonics. I didn't think there was enough harmonic distortion from wind generators. I know there's a dc to ac inversion required, but I didn't hear any mention about unusually high levels of harmonics associated with these types of installations. Does any one have experience with them enough to comment on this issue?
I'll look for the link but it was by someone from Pacific Crest Transformers.

There can be voltage issues related to the long runs of underground cable that is often run for the collector systems.
This paper discusses the common technologies used.

Simular issue to three legged cores carring large zero sequence flux. The stray flux can travel through the case and other parts not sized for flux capacity, and cause over heating.
