Site-specific validation of turbulence models on large offshore wind farms for improving fatigue assessment

Wind turbines installed in a wind farm are typically subject to increased turbulence because they are in the wake of upstream wind turbines that generate additional turbulence. Accurate prediction of turbulence in wind farms is critical as it is proportional to wind turbine fatigue loads, power losses and prediction of wind farm lifetime. IEC...

Distance Protection Challenges in a Wind Farm

Wind farms are currently built in the North Sea in the Netherlands. The grid connecting the off-shore wind farm to the main-land distribution grid must be protected against short-circuits and other electrical disturbances. In this project is studied if electrical protection of a grid is suitable for grids connecting renewable energy sources to...
