The section contributes to the development of better methods to integrate a significant share of wind power into the power system.
The research in wind power integration and control covers a wide range of subjects within these fields:
-
Wind power plants in the power system
-
Variability, prediction and predictability of wind power
-
Integrated design and control of wind turbines and wind farms
-
Application of advanced materials for wind turbine generators
The work combines theoretical and experimental aspects in time scales ranging from micro seconds to hours, aiming at:
-
Models and tools for understanding the impact on power systems when you introduce a higher share of the fluctuating wind power. The aim is to contribute to a platform that also integrates prediction, mesoscale modelling and market functionality.
-
Model development and validation for wind power plant functionality and capabilities.
-
Integrated electrical and mechanical design methods and approaches that interface the electrical and control tools with the mechanical and aeroelastic tools.
- Innovation in wind power integration and control as well as planning and development of wind farms.
- Methods and tools for testing grid compliance and power quality of wind turbines and wind farms.
