Flicker Measurement based on SVR for Fixed-Speed Wind Generator Systems

This paper presents a simulation model based on support vector regression (SVR) for flicker emission estimation from wind turbines. Training patterns are developed by varying the wind speed and network parameters that might affect the expected flicker levels. A comparison is done to the fixed speed wind turbine (WT), which leads to a conclusion that the factors mentioned above have different influences on flicker emission. The simulation results have shown that the flicker estimation is performed accurately.
