Development tests for the 2.5 megawatt Mod-2 wind turbine generator

The 2.5 megawatt MOD-2 wind turbine generator test program is discussed. The development of the 2.5 megawatt MOD-2 wind turbine generator included an extensive program of testing which encompassed verification of analytical procedures, component development, and integrated system verification. The test program was to assure achievement of the thirty year design operational life of the wind turbine system as well as to minimize costly design modifications which would otherwise have been required during on site system testing. Computer codes were modified, fatigue life of structure and dynamic components were verified, mechanical and electrical component and subsystems were functionally checked and modified where necessary to meet system specifications, and measured dynamic responses of coupled systems confirmed analytical predictions

Model 0A wind turbine generator FMEA

The results of Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) conducted for the Wind Turbine Generators are presented. The FMEA was performed for the functional modes of each system, subsystem, or component. The single-point failures were eliminated for most of the systems. The blade system was the only exception. The qualitative probability of a blade separating was estimated at level D-remote. Many changes were made to the hardware as a result of this analysis. The most significant change was the addition of the safety system. Operational experience and need to improve machine availability have resulted in subsequent changes to the various systems which are also reflected in this FMEA

Centralized wind power plant voltage control with optimal power flow algorithm

This thesis presents a method of controlling the reactive power injected into a medium-voltage collection system by multiple wind turbine generators such that the voltage at one bus is maintained at a specified level. The proposed control accounts for the system impedance between the wind turbine generator terminals and the point of interconnect, and utilizes an optimal power flow algorithm to dispatch reactive power amongst the wind turbine generators. This optimal power flow algorithm minimizes real power losses within the wind power plant and avoids operating conditions that violate various operating constraints. This thesis presents a 100 wind turbine generator wind plant test system and uses this test system to demonstrate the potential increased revenues occasioned by the proposed control system as compared to a system that dispatches the wind turbine generator reactive power injections uniformly. Analysis shows that it can be cost effective to install the proposed control system
