VestasOnline Power Plant Controller

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The VestasOnline® Power Plant Controller is a pioneering technology dedicated to wind power plants, ensuring compliance with global grid codes at the Point of Common Coupling. It offers fast, reliable real-time control with multiple functionalities.
Specifications and Functionalities
The controller operates independently of the SCADA system, providing accurate monitoring and control of each wind turbine. Key functionalities include:
  • Power factor or reactive power closed-loop control
  • Voltage closed-loop control
  • Active power closed-loop control, curtailment, derating, ramp-rate limitation
  • Frequency control with three options and governor response
  • Fault ride-through coordination
The system is scalable and customizable to meet local grid requirements.
Control Architecture Options
Three tailored control options are available to meet different plant configurations and grid code requirements:
  • Option 1: Control architecture with turbines alone, suitable when WTGs can inject reactive power and meet grid code requirements.
  • Option 2: Control architecture with WTGs and MSCs, for scenarios requiring more reactive power than WTGs can provide.
  • Option 3: Control architecture with turbines and STATCOM, including MSCs and MSRs, for enhanced reactive power and dynamic performance.
Scalability and Integration
The VestasOnline® PPC can control up to 160 turbines with a single controller, and up to 480 turbines by combining multiple controllers. It supports data acquisition and control of all wind power plant components, with interfaces for third-party equipment.
Additional Features
The system includes Transient Fault Recording for performance and post-fault analysis, and is based on a reliable, easy-to-install PLC platform. It offers simple lifecycle management and is designed for reliability and ease of maintenance.
Conclusion
The VestasOnline® Power Plant Controller is a comprehensive solution for wind power plants, ensuring worldwide grid compliance and supporting the success of wind energy as a sustainable power source.

Switched capacitors banks can be installed at the collector bus when the grid code in question requires more reactive power than the one available from the WTGs at the PCC. Vestas has developed control algorithms aimed to harmonise the combined operation of the WTGs and MSCs together. These algorithms can be even voltage control of the power plant, if the grid code allows the use of capacitors for such purpose.
