Wind power generation system auxiliary equipment

Do wind turbines provide ancillary services?

Wind turbines possess the technical ability to provide various ancillary services to the electrical grid. Despite this, renewable generators such as wind and solar have traditionally not been allowed to provide significant amounts of ancillary services, in part due to the variable and uncertain nature of their electricity generation.

What types of generators can be used in a wind power plant?

In these plants, it is possible to use asynchronous or synchronous generators, less often dynamos as well as synchronous generators with permanent magnets (in recent years). Static frequency converter is usually inserted between the asynchronous or synchronous generator and the external grid in order to better use wind energy.

How often does a wind turbine update pavailable signal?

This value is updated every 4 s and is sent to the turbine's control system. Although the wind turbine used here provides a Pavailable signal that is an estimate of the power in the wind, we observed delays and errors in this signal and so elected to use a measured power curve and wind speed average as described above.

How to control a small wind power plant?

The control systems are relatively simple and can be divided by the type of operating the small wind power plant into the system for a autonomous mode (off-grid mode) without connection to the external grid and system for parallel generator cooperation with the external grid into which the generator output is brought.

Why should you choose for your wind turbine?

’s proven products for wind turbines are designed and built to operate for long life cycles under the varied and harsh operating conditions common to turbines. engineers with years of wind power experience help design the products and work with turbine manufacturers to correctly and efficiently integrate these products into turbine designs.

How to design a wind power plant?

One of the criteria, for example, is the design of the wind turbine according to which the wind power plants can be divided into plants with horizontal or vertical axis of rotation. Another aspect can be the method of swivelling the wind turbine or blades—accordingly, the wind power plants are divided into active or passive pitch control.
