VestasOnline® Power Plant Controller - 7

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. Option 2: Control architecture with WTGs and MSCs Point of Measurements Q Exchange Point of Common Coupling Setpoint & feedback Setpoint & feedback VestasOnline® Power Plant...
