6 FAQs about [Safety of wind power projects before grid connection]

Do wind farms need a grid connection?

The number of medium-size and large wind farms (greater than 50 MW) connected to the high-voltage transmission system is likely to increase dramatically, especially with offshore wind farms. In the past, a grid connection requirement (GCR) for wind turbines or wind farms was not necessary due to low level of wind power penetration.

Can wind energy be integrated into the grid?

Kook et al. (2006) examined potential mitigation techniques to reduce the level of impacts associated with integrating wind energy into the grid by implementing an energy storage system (ESS) using a simulation model implemented using the Power System Simulator for Engineering (PSS/E).

Do wind farms need interconnection rules?

Hence, interconnection rules for wind farms to be connected to the transmission level are required. The main focus in the grid codes has been on the fault ride-through issue, where the TSO requires wind power to stay connected to the grid during and after a fault in the transmission system.

Can a wind turbine improve grid flexibility?

As a result of generating and absorbing reactive power, a wind turbine can improve the grid’s flexibility (Li et al. 2018). Maintaining the voltage within the operational limit is critical when introducing new load or power generation technology.

Can wind farms withstand network disturbances?

Frequency variations can be experienced by conventional power plants when significant active power variations interact with frequency controllers. In order to withstand network disturbances that are successfully eliminated, large wind farms have to play an active role in controlling and stabilizing the power system.

Do wind farms need a grid code?

As previously described, the latest grid codes require that wind farms must remain in operation during severe grid disturbances, ensure fast restoration of active power to the pre-fault levels, as soon as the fault is cleared, and in certain cases produce reactive current in order to support grid voltage during disturbances.
