Ingeteam has released a new simulation model to address grid stability and connectivity issues associated with the integration of wind power onto the grid.
Ingeteam, a global technology Group specialized in electric power conversion, said that with each wind farm grid conditions demanding specific and stringent requirements, complex modelling is paramount to solve grid connectivity and stability challenges.
In particular, the need to work with very low Short Circuit Ratio (SCR) or quality factor grids, as well as the existence of sub-synchronous and parallel resonances are significant challenges.
“Throughout the world, a broad range of grid codes are in constant evolution,” said Ingeteam’s Wind Business Unit commercial director Alberto Barcia.
“As the amount of renewable power deployed globally continues to increase steadily, the critical issue of grid stability also becomes increasingly complex. Ingeteam’s advanced simulation models are the answer to the complex grid issues that come with a high penetration of wind power in transmission grids.”
The company said its industry-leading technical knowledge, acquired through more than 29,000 power converters installed in wind farms worldwide, enables it to solve the most demanding technical challenges facing the wind energy sector.
It currently has over 50GW of electrical wind power conversion equipment installed worldwide.
