Overordnede kursusmål
The focus of the course is on grid connection of wind power plants
as well as challenges and solutions to grid integration.
First, the electrical system connecting the wind turbine generators
in a wind farm is introduced. Then the power system characteristics
are explained in order to understand power system requirements to
grid connection of wind farms transforming them into wind power
plants. Finally, the wind power plant is introduced as a wind farm,
which meets those power system requirements.
The course is structured into three subjects:
• Wind farm
• Power system
• Wind power plant
