Grid Connection and Integration of Wind Power – course
The focus of the course is on grid connection of wind power plants as well as challenges and solutions to grid integration.
The participant is introduced to the electrical system connecting the wind turbine generators in a wind farm.
Then the power system characteristics are explained in order to understand power system requirements to grid connection of wind farms transforming them into wind power plants.
Finally, the wind power plant is introduced as a wind farm, which meets those power system requirements.
Learning objectives
After completing this course, the participant is able to:
- List basic electrical components in a wind farm.
- Design the electrical power collection system in a wind farm.
