Wind Farm Solution to Comply with Operating Procedure 12.3 in the Face of Voltage Dips

WINDFACT®, is a solution to comply with grid regulation codes for operating wind farms in the face of voltage dips. It is preferentially integrated at a substation level, thereby avoiding the need to retrofit or replace existing wind turbines and without affecting their manufacturer's warranty. The WINDFACT® system protects the machines' mechanics during voltage recovery after the dip and allows for start-up and maintenance without a fall in the wind farm's availability rates.

When a voltage dip happens in the grid, many of the wind turbines installed in wind farms are disconnected, thus jeopardizing the system's stability.
The increasing penetration of wind energy in the energy production mix is forcing grid operators to lay down new regulations for wind energy generation in order to ensure the system's stability.
Aware of the need for a solution to this problem and in order to comply with grid regulation codes, GAMESA has developed a specific solution based on power electronics that allows for compliance with the requirements set forth without the need for retrofitting or of replacing existing wind turbines.
WINDFACT® is a solution that is preferably installed and connected in series at a substation level between the wind farm and the grid.
Start-up and maintenance without affecting the wind farm
Does not affect wind turbine manufacturers' warranties
Prevents falls in the wind farm's availability rates as a result of equipment failure.
