Wind parks
Wind energy plays a key role in the expansion of renewable energies. It uses the kinetic energy of air currents to generate electrical energy. Wind farms are constructed either inland (on-shore) or as off-shore farms.
Challenges for wind parks
Ensure power quality
By continuously recording voltage and current data, potential problems such as voltage fluctuations, harmonics or transients can be detected at an early stage.
This helps operators to optimize the performance of their wind turbines, minimize outages and ensure compliance with grid connection rules and standards.Ultimately, this monitoring helps to improve the stability of the electricity grid and facilitate the integration of wind energy into the grid by monitoring the quality of the energy fed into the grid and intervening if necessary.
Maximize efficiency
Precise monitoring and optimization of the operating parameters of wind turbines makes it possible to maximize the efficiency of the turbines. By analyzing data such as power production, wind speed and operating conditions, operators can identify bottlenecks, plan maintenance intervals and improve the performance of their turbines. This increases the profitability of the wind turbines and ensures reliable power generation.
Important electrical parameters such as the current feed-in power can be forwarded as actual values to higher-level systems such as PGS controllers, station control or telecontrol technology of the energy supplier and can be compared with target values, e.g. for power reduction.
