Course Overview
This course focuses on the grid connection of wind power plants as well as challenges and solutions to grid integration. Furthermore, you will be introduced to the wind power plant as a wind farm, which meets the power system requirements.
Course Highlights
The course is structured into three subjects:
- Wind farm
- Power system
- Wind power plant
During the course, you will work with the following:
- Electrical components in wind farms
- Electrical circuits basics and calculations
- Wind power technology and control
- Power system fundamentals
- Technical specifications and connection requirements
- Power system operation with large scale wind power
- Modelling and control of wind power plants
Video Overview
MAIN GOAL
You will be introduced to the electrical system connecting the wind turbine generators in a wind farm. You will learn about the power system characteristics and get an understanding of the power system requirements for grid connection of wind farms transforming them into wind power plants.
Learning Outcomes
After completion of this course, you will gain the ability to:
- + List basic electrical components in a wind farm.
- + Design the electrical power collection system in a wind farm.
- + Calculate electrical losses in a wind farm under different wind conditions.
- + Analyze voltage profiles in a wind farm under different wind conditions.
- + Describe the basic principles for frequency, voltage and power quality characteristics in a power system.
- + Identify challenges of integrating wind power.
- + Describe requirements (grid codes) for grid connection of wind power plants.
- + Explain the structure of wind power plant control.
- + Analyze impact of large scale wind power on frequency control.
- + Assess the compliance of a wind power plant with requirements to reactive power capability.
- + Evaluate the impact of a wind power plant on power quality.
