Wind power plants grid code compliance tests – Hydro-Québec TransÉnergie experience

摘要

This study presents the Hydro-Québec TransÉnergie experience regarding the grid code compliance tests that have been performed for the integration of wind power plants using type-III and type-IV technologies. Tests discussed in this study were conducted in two phases: validation of the performance requirements for each project and type tests on a single wind turbine generator for each technology involved. The study presents examples of results for each test module and measurements from online monitoring. Technical challenges are discussed and performance issues that were raised through the process are explained.
