EWEC, Marseille, 19-Mar-09

  7. FACILITIES: PEPA III • Wind Turbines Grid integration. • Possibility of installation, design and characterization of new systems based on Wind Energy: desalination, wind-hydrogen, etc. • 8 Test Positions up to 200 kW. EWEC, Marseille, 19-Mar-09

  8. FACILITIES: BLADE TEST BENCH Blades from 3 to 10 m Blades from 1 to 3 m • Static Test. • Proper Frequencies Study. • Fatigue Test (under construction). EWEC, Marseille, 19-Mar-09

  9. FACILITIES: GENERATORS TEST BENCH Control and monitoring system Electronic Loads Drive motor Torque measurement Small Generator • Different test to generators in accordance with Standards IEC 60034. • Efficiency. • Voltage-Current Curves. EWEC, Marseille, 19-Mar-09

  10. FACILITIES: NEW BUILDING UNDER CONSTRUCTION • Vibrations and noise. • Study of the behaviors of SWT on the rooftops. • Comparison and demonstration of different technologies. EWEC, Marseille, 19-Mar-09

  11. National R&D Project. PSE- MINIEOLICA • Objective • Reduce the installed cost of SWT to 1500 €/kW. (p.e. large series manufacturing, fast blades manufacturing process, development of control systems, inverters, etc.). • Energy production cost 10-15 c€/kWh with wind speed of 5-6 to 10 m/s. • Increase the SWT reliability to achieve a 90% of availability. • Dynamize the SWT market. Target. 100 MW installed in a medium period. • Establish the certification and homologation procedures and centers. • Rise the Spanish SWT exportations. EWEC, Marseille, 19-Mar-09

  12. National R&D Project. PSE- MINIEOLICA • Subprojects in which CIEMAT is involved: • SP 1.2:Active yaw power regulation SWT. • SP 1.3: Development of high performance and low cost SWT of 25/50/75 kW, with pitch control and variable speed. • SP 2.1: Design and Evaluation of Rotors. • SP 2.2: Development of multipurpose systems to regulate, control and supervise SWT generation systems. • SP 3.1: Measure and Test all the Spanish commercial SWT’s. • SP 3.2: EOLMAP. Spanish Wind Map for SWT installers and end users. • SP 3.6: SWT’s Standardization. EWEC, Marseille, 19-Mar-09

  17. National R&D Project. PSE- MINIEOLICA • Analysis: • Significant variations has been detected between the measurements obtain and the expected ones (above all in the AEP curve). • It’s important to define quite well the regulation system in case of active control. • The results in noise emissions should be better in case of a massive installation. • A vibration analysis could be recommended in case of mounting over rooftops. EWEC, Marseille, 19-Mar-09

  18. Proposals • Background • It seem that the results are nor exactly what it’s expected. • That could mean, there would be several variables don’t take into account (p.e. turbulence, obstacles, etc). • AEP Curve is one the most important data for the costumers. • The results in these curves are very uncertain in low wind speed. • The cost of tests are very high for the manufacturer. EWEC, Marseille, 19-Mar-09

  19. Proposal • The SWT labeling could be a very good idea for the market. • In this way, it should be necessary international initiatives, for example the IEC WG2 for 61400-2 new edition and IEA Task 27 liaison to get better procedures to certificate and labeling future SWT. • Fitting curves in all the tests could be an interesting possibility to reduce the cost. • Noise emission test defined in the IEC 61400-11 is defined to Wind Farms, not in an urban site (p.e.) EWEC, Marseille, 19-Mar-09

  21. Conclusions • CIEMAT is making significant efforts to promote the increase of the reliability of Spanish commercial SWT. • Some new initiatives to produce advanced local wind turbines in a range around 100 kW are being widely considered. • It should be needed to focus more investigations on the measurements of the SWT’s and their components. • It’s necessary to develop new tools for the manufacturers training. • The actual measurement procedures should be more reliable. An important way for research is opened. • An effort on the standardization and/or labeling to carry out a friendly useful output for the end user and it should be made in a short period of time.
