Active power (kw) minute data S Q P Wind speed (m/s) Power Factor Power factor minute data minute data Power quality improvement Power factor is a comprehensive metric to power quality. The controllable variables of wind turbine adjust the generator load, and thus the low power factor could be increased, then the power factor impacts the harmonic distortion and transient overvoltage in the power system. The ideal goal of wind turbine is to set power factor as one or unit power factor; however, power factor is hard to control, and thus it is usually far below one in electricity industry. Metrics for dynamic models N AE() i i MAE N AE yˆ y 1 Std N ( AE( i) MAE) i 1 N 1 ŷ : predicted corresponding parameters; y : observed values of corresponding parameters, and they could be the active power, power factor and rotor speed; N : the number of test data points used to validate the performance of the dynamic MISO models; The small value of the MAE and Std implies a superior prediction performance of the wind turbine models.
