1 Module 3: Types of Wind Energy Systems Mohamed A. El-Sharkawi Department of Electrical Engineering University of Washington Seattle, WA Historical Development of Wind Energy 3 rd millennium BC: Chinese vase painted with windmill. 2 nd millennium BC: Babylonians used windmills for irrigation 12 th century: windmills were built in Europe to grind grains, pump water and cut wood. The windmills were also used in Holland to drain lands below the sea level. El-Sharkawi@University of Washington 2 1

2 Historical Development of Wind Energy Charles F. Brush is the first person to build wind turbine to produce electricity in Cleveland, Ohio in 1888 It was just 12 kw Poul la Cour of Denmark built the first wind turbine outside of the US to generate electricity in 1891 Historical Development of Wind Energy : Thousands of wind turbines were used in rural areas not yet served by the power grid Interest in wind power declined as the utility grid expanded Oil crisis in 1970s created a renewed interest in wind until US government stopped giving tax credits In 1990s, interest is renewed 2

4 Key Parts of Wind Turbine Rotating blades Gear box High speed shaft Housing (nacelle) Low speed shaft Generator and converter Yaw Tower Wind Turbine Gearboxes A significant amount of the weight in the nacelle is due to the gearbox Gearboxes common source of turbine failures They require periodic maintenance (e.g., change the oil) A newer type of wind turbines do not use gearboxes Directly coupled to the grid through a converter The electrical generator has a large number of poles 4

5 kw 6/23/ MW Turbine Rapid Growth of Wind Turbine Size

6 Basic Wind Turbine Specifications (2MW) Rotor Diameter = 80 meters Swept Area = 5,026 m 2 Blade Rotation = rpm Generator Voltage = 690 Volts Capacity = 1,800-2,000 kw Nacelle (housing) Weight = 77 tons Rotor Weight = 41 tons Tower Weight = 105 tons Total Weight = 223 tons GE 3.6MW 6

7 Typical Blade length Rotor Diameter (m) Power Rating (kw) Can We Exceed 100m? Wind speed increases with elevation 100m blades can produce 3-5MW Can we go higher than 100m? Introduces transportation constraints in most highways Max trailer dimension is 4.1m (H) X 2.6m (W) Requires large cranes that are not readily available Produces a new set of technical and environmental problems (impact on grid, wake, etc.) 7

8 VESTAS 1.8MW Controllable Mechanical Variables Most turbines operate at wind speed of mph Pitch Control To maximize C p Reduce C p when wind speed produces power higher than the rating of the turbine Regulate the output power of the turbine as part of grid control action Yaw Control To align the rotor to face wind Feathering To lock the blades at high wind speeds (>50mph) Rotating blades Low speed shaft Tower Gear box High speed shaft Nacelle Generator and converter Yaw 8

10 Types of Wind Turbine Generators (WTG) Asynchronous Generator (Induction Machine) Squirrel Cage Induction Generator (SCIG) Wound Rotor Induction generator (WRIG) Synchronous Generator (SG) of Washington 19 Fixed and Variable Speed IG of Washington 20 10

11 Power 6/23/2012 Fixed vs Variable Speed Turbines Variable Speed Turbine Fixed Speed Turbine Rated Power Synchronous speed Wind Speed Main Categories of Wind Energy Systems Motor Characteristic Speed Wide range of speed Motor Characteristic Speed Narrow range of speed Wide range of Power Power Wide range of Power Power Variable speed System Fixed speed System of Washington 22 11

12 Fixed Speed Wind Turbine (FSWT) System Mainly squirrel cage induction generator The rotor speed variations are very small, approximately 1 to 2 % of the rated speed. Advantages of FSWT are Does not require brushes Rugged construction Low cost Low maintenance Simple to operate Drawbacks of FSWT are Because the rotor speed cannot vary, fluctuations in wind speed translate directly into drive train torque fluctuations. This causes more stress on the mechanical system The speed of the FSWT is very high (above the synchronous speed) Higher structural loads More noise More bird collisions El-Sharkawi@University of Washington 23 Variable Speed Wind Turbine (VSWT) System Advantages The power can be regulated even when the speed of the turbine changes widely The system can produce power at low speeds (lower than the synchronous speed) The speed of the generator can be adjusted to achieve higher aerodynamic efficiency (maximize the coefficient of performance) Lower mechanical stress due to the reduction of the drive train torque variations. Noise problems are reduced because the turbine runs at low speed. Drawback More expensive El-Sharkawi@University of Washington 24 12

13 Main Types of Wind Turbines of Washington 25 Main Types of WTG Fixed Speed Types Type 1: Squirrel cage induction generator directly coupled to the grid. May have pitch control Variable Speed Types Type 2: Wound rotor induction machine with external rotor resistance control Type 3: Wound rotor Doubly-fed induction generator (Voltage injected in the rotor winding) Type 4: Synchronous generator, the stator is connected to the grid via power converter (Full converter) of Washington 26 13

14 Type1: SCIG with Fixed Compensation Grid Connection Point Trunk Line HV-GSU Point Farm Collection Point SCIG Gear Box Grid GSU xfm Fixed Compensation HV-GSU: High Voltage side of Generation Step-Up transformer of Washington 27 Type1: SCIG with Variable Compensation Grid Connection Point Trunk Line HV-GSU Point Farm Collection Point SCIG Gear Box Grid GSU xfm Variable Compensation HV-GSU: High Voltage side of Generation Step-Up transformer of Washington 28 14

15 Type 2: Wound Rotor IG Farm Collection Point WRIG Gear Box of Washington 29 Type 3: Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) Farm Collection Point WRIG Gear Box AC/DC + DC/AC El-Sharkawi@University of Washington 30 15

16 Type 3: Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) WRIG Gear Box AC/DC Line converter dc Link DC/AC Rotor converter Rotor inverter The power rating of the converter is often about 1/3 the generator rating of Washington 31 Type 3: Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) WRIG Gear Box AC/DC dc Link DC/AC Controls DC link voltage Reactive power Controls Electromagnetic torque (extracted power) Speed Terminal voltage of generator Reactive power of Washington 32 16

18 Type 4: SG with AGC (Full Converter) AC/DC + DC/AC Farm Collection Point Excitation Excitation voltage Pitch angle Grid Conditions and requirements AGC Wind Conditions Plant objectives and limits El-Sharkawi@University of Washington 35 Two Blades Turbines Runs at fast speed to improve C p Advantages: Gearbox ratio is reduced Disadvantages: For the same wind speed, the two-blade system captures less power then the three-blade system Creates gyroscopic imbalances (bending moment due to wind obstruction by tower) Higher speed means more noise Higher rate of bird collisions Mohamed A. El-Sharkawi, University of Washington 36 18

19 Bending Moments (2-blade) When one blade is at the top, it is receiving the maximum force from wind The bottom blade is receiving less force The forces are not balanced at hub Torque on the hub is pulsating, thus stressing the hub gears Wind Force Wind Force Mohamed A. El-Sharkawi, University of Washington 37 F = A Pr C d Pr~w 2 Force of Wind A: The area of the blade facing wind Pr: Wind pressure C d : Drag coefficient of the blade Since Then F = K w 2 w 1 w 2 = h 1 h 2 F 1 F 2 = h 1 h 2 α 2α Mohamed A. El-Sharkawi, University of Washington 38 F 1 F 2 Centroid 19

20 Bending Moment Find the ratio between the max and min power on the blades, assume = m F 80 = 80 F = T hub v = r F 80 + r F 40 = F 40 When the blades are in the horizontal position 60 m T hub h = r F 60 + r F 60 = 2.0 F m T hub h = F 40 = F 40 T hub = T hub h T hub v = F 40 Mohamed A. El-Sharkawi, University of Washington 39 Bending Moments (3-blade) The bottom blade in the shadow of the tower receives less than the maximum force The other two blades are not in the vertical position, so they also receive less than the maximum force The forces are better distributed at the hub Mohamed A. El-Sharkawi, University of Washington 40 20

21 Bending Moments (3-blade) F 2 = F 3 = 70 F 1 F = m F 2 F 3 T hub = r F 1 + r F 2 + r F 3 60 m The value is constant regardless of blades position 40 m F 1 Mohamed A. El-Sharkawi, University of Washington 41 Advantages: Three-Blade Turbine Slow rotation three blades capture more energy than two blades for the same wind speed Gyroscopic forces are better balanced More aesthetic, less noise, fewer bird collisions Disadvantages: Slower rotation increases gearbox costs Rotor assembled on the ground is more difficult Mohamed A. El-Sharkawi, University of Washington 42 21

22 Why not 5 or 7 Blades? More expensive Increase wind wall effect Reduction of wind speed through the blades, thus reducing the amount of energy that can be captured by the blade Turbulent wind due to one blade may not die down before the other blades reach the area Wind Force Wind Force Mohamed A. El-Sharkawi, University of Washington 43 End of Module 3 22
