Control system and method for operating a wind farm in a balanced state
TLDR
In this article, a method for operating a wind farm which includes a wind-farm control system and at least two wind turbines, which are connected via an internal grid, is provided.Abstract:
A method for operating a wind farm which includes a wind farm control system and at least two wind turbines, which are connected via an internal grid, is provided. The method includes determining the actual power consumption of the wind farm; and adjusting the power production of at least one of the wind turbines so that the actual power production and actual power consumption of the wind farm are substantially equal. Further, a method for operating a wind farm which includes a wind farm control system and several power sources, are connected via an internal grid, is provided. At least two of the power sources are wind turbines and at least one power source is an additional power source selected from a group consisting of a fuel power source, a battery-based power source and a solar power source. The method includes determining the actual power consumption of the wind farm; and adjusting the power production of at least one of the power sources so that the actual power production and actual power consumption of the wind farm are substantially equal. Furthermore, a wind farm control system arranged for balancing the power production and consumption of a wind farm is provided.read more
