Document Title WECC Wind Power Plant Power Flow Modeling
For power flow simulations, the equivalent WTG should be represented as a standard generator. Real power level and reactive power capability must be specified according to the guidelines below.
Wind Energy Design and Fundamentals
The capacity factor describes the net yield from the wind farms and is defined as the ratio of the total energy generated during a given period to the total rated generation capacity during the same period.
Wind Turbine Calculator
This wind turbine calculator is a comprehensive tool for determining the power output, revenue, and torque of either a horizontal-axis (HAWT) or vertical-axis
Design and Energy Estimates for Wind Farms
Turbines ranging from 1 to 3MW are very commonly used in on-shore wind farms and larger units become more practical when installed off-shore. This paper will focus on the procedures used in
Wind Standards
Standards that impact the program (e.g., A2e): These are related to turbine performance, measurement of atmospheric conditions, and wind power plant performance.
Specifications
This document provides the specifications for the application of UNFC to Wind Energy Resources (Wind Energy Specifications). Section I of the document provides the necessary context and instructions on
Document Title WECC Wind Power Plant Dynamic Modeling
The models need to provide a reasonably good representation of dynamic electrical performance of wind power plant at the point of interconnection with the utility grid, not inside the wind power plant.
Design Load Basis Guidance for Distributed Wind Turbines
The wind turbine generator (WTG) design is to be performed according to state-of- the-art methods and interpretations of the governing standards, rules, and guidelines indicated in the design basis and as
Wind Turbine Standards
This system specifies rules for procedures and management for carrying out conformity evaluation of WT and wind farms, with respect to specific standards
IEC 61400
Purpose and functionHarmonizationWind Turbine Generator (WTG) classesList of IEC 61400 parts
IEC 61400 is a set of design requirements made to ensure that wind turbines are appropriately engineered against damage from hazards within the planned lifetime. The standard concerns most aspects of the turbine life from site conditions before construction, to turbine components being tested, assembled and operated. Wind turbines are capital intensive, and are usually purchased before they are being erected and commissioned
