Linear Model of Flicker Due to Vertical Wind Shear for a Turbine Mounted on a Green Building

Use of wind energy is increased day by day. Power quality is one of the prime issues. Computation of flicker is very necessary to improve the quality of wind power generation. In this paper flicker is computed with linear approach. Vertical wind shear has major impact on the production of the flicker in wind generation. Computation of flicker in this paper is carried out considering impact of vertical wind shear. Other parameters considered for computation of flicker are turbine blade length and tower height. Mathematical model to compute the flicker is developed using these parameters. Validation of the model is also done.
