PEMSWECS: Performance Evaluation Methods for Autonomous, Applications OrientedWind Turbine Systems

摘要

The primary objective of the PEMSWECS project is to provide a technical basis forthe standardization of power performance evaluation methods. This can serve as the basis for commercial warranties for autonomous, application orientated wind turbine systems. The project is largely testing based. It is complemented by analytical modeling, to provide a better understanding of system characteristics as well as to assist in performance prediction. This report gives an overview of the result of the project. Measurements and simulations to develop a method for the power performance evaluation of autonomous wind turbine systems are described. The report is a compilation of the detailed reports on measurements and evaluations on three stand alone wind turbine systems: a 6 kW proven system, equipped with a permanent magnet generator, diode rectifier, voltage controller and resistive load; a 4 kW Fortis Montana system, with a permanent magnet generator, diode rectifier, batteries, inverter and AC load; a 30 kW Sudwind system, with synchronous generator and controlled resistive load.
