Line diagram of a wind turbine power plant. In figure 1 the single line diagram represents a wind power plant. A wind power plant consists of a wind engine a generator of electrical current automatic devices for controlling the operation of the wind engine and generator and buildings for their installation and maintenance. The turbine is coupled to the shaft of a generator which generates electrical power as the output of the system. In order to reduce the power loss of a low voltage circuit it might be a better practice to connect multiple wind turbines to a middle voltage bus using the daisy chain structure within an actual wpp and then power in feed to the external grid from the wpp through transmission lines.
Wind power plant a wind energy installation that converts the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy. Nowadays wind turbines are sized above 1000 kw 1 mw. In the early days the turbines were sized from 10 kw 100 kw. Compressorair compressor used in a gas turbine power plant is mainly of the rotary type.
Vahan gevorgian member ieee eduard muljadi fellow ieee wind power plant short circuit current contribution for different fault and wind turbine. The design of the electrical system is determined by the characteristics of the wind turbine generators and of the network to which the project is to be connected as well as regulations imposed upon it notably through grid codes. In the future as wind turbines become larger the voltage at the point of generation may be increased to medium. Depending on these three primary inputs there are three basic flow circuits work on a thermal power generating plant.
Each wind turbine has a pad mounted transformer to step down the voltage from the subtransmission level to the low voltage generated by the wind turbine. Dynamic equivalence of the wpp 31. Turbine shaft and rotates at the same rotational speed as the turbine. The main components of a gas turbine power plant are the compressor regenerator combustion chamber gas turbine alternator and starting motor.
