OWP Control

Adaptive Operation Management and Control at Offshore Windparks based on new Operational Strategies

Content

The project pursues the overall objective to operate offshore wind farms more economically. The work packages aim on methodical research on different operational strategies to optimize energy yield, loads and grid stability by an adaptive operational management of the individual wind turbines as well as the entire offshore wind farm. Beside novel control concepts, a precise calculation of the fatigue loading of the individual turbines and their reserve with respect to the design load envelope shall be developed. The new concepts comprise modular add-on solutions for existing wind farms as well as more integrated, farreaching approaches for the next generation of turbines and wind farms.
