Summary 19 Integration of large amounts of wind power pose challenges to grid and system integration New tools for grid operation are necessary For generation control, the wind farm cluster concept has been developed Cluster = all wind farms connected to one transmission grid node The Wind Farm Cluster Management System (WCMS) has been developed at ISET It enables the TSO an extended control of the wind power plant Its capabilities are currently demonstrated in a field test in Germany
Outlook: WCMS in Spain and Portugal 20 WCMS will be demonstrated in Spain and Portugal European research project Wind on the Grid Additional hierachy level: Wind farm operator New control strategy: Voltage control
Outlook: Combination of different renewable energies 21 Virtual power plant demonstration Combination of wind, pv, biogas and pumped hydro Model 1/10000 of German load Wind Solar Biogas Hydro GWh 16,8 6,0 10,0 8,2 MW 12,6 5,5 4,0 1,0
Outlook: Combination of different renewable energies 22 System is running operationally since 3rd of July
