This paper presents a summary of the most important characteristics of wind turbine generators applied in modern wind power plants. Various wind turbine generator designs, based on classification by machine type and speed control capabilities, are discussed along with their operational characteristics, voltage, reactive power, or power factor control capabilities, voltage ride-through characteristics,...
Proper insulation coordination is critical to achieving expected life from wind plant equipment. The collector systems of large wind plants require the application of surge arresters to protect the equipment insulation from transient overvoltages. The application of surge arresters is constrained by maximum operating and temporary overvoltage levels. This paper provides a tutorial description of the...
This paper presents a summary of the most important design considerations for wind power plants. Various considerations, including feeder topology, collector design, interconnect and NESC/NEC requirements, and design engineering studies are discussed.
This paper presents basic guidelines on design considerations for wind power plant substation and collector system based on redundancy, reliability, and economics. Design considerations, although similar to utility substation and underground or overhead distribution systems, often include aspects not normally considered for those systems. This paper will highlight design considerations unique to wind...
This technical paper provides the basic guidelines for the application of reactive compensation systems to be used as part of a wind power plant. A brief history of wind plant reactive compensation system is discussed, then the fundamental needs of why reactive compensation is required. The paper will then provide some alternatives for reactive compensation, how to size the reactive compensation,...
Implementation of transmission access arrangements under BETTA, in the UK, has encouraged applications for offers to connect generation to the grid. Network operators have consequently been presented with a vast amount of applications before end of 2004. Boosted by governmental targets of securing 10% of electricity generation from renewable resources by 2010 and 20% by 2020 and widespread public...
The value of intermittent wind generation is significantly affected by their penetration and concentration, and is further affected by their location within a network. This is because the location and penetration level of wind generation will result in significant impact on power flow distribution across the network. When increasing the penetration and concentration of wind generation in a power system,...
The value of renewables is significantly affected by their penetration, concentration and location. Value is further affected by the responsiveness of demand which will reduce the need for back up power through non-renewable sources. By increasing the penetration of renewables in power systems, demand side participation become more important. Demand side management (DSM) programs have been studied...
