Objective
The general aim of this project is the demonstration of the Terschelling PV/wind system as an effective energy-producing power station. Within the project the further optimization of power management and consequently a higher system efficiency of this hybrid system is aimed at.
The main purpose of the project is the sustained operation and monitoring of the system and the execution of follow-up experiments and research on the system level.
A) Battery research
First the ageing mechanisms in the existing battery will be determined, from which lessons will be learned for a new battery and battery control. It is aimed to determinate the optimum battery type and size and the optimum control for autonomous operation of the system. Alternative designs will be evaluated.
B) Research into the system as if it is an electricity supply for a community not connected to the public grid. A PV/battery/diesel system (possibly with a wind turbine) is a realistic alternative for the substitution of diesel-only generating sets in Europe and in developing countries. The presence of the (often already existing) diesel generator on these locations makes it possible to have a smaller battery system reducing system reducing system costs, compared to a PV/battery system without back-up generator.
In this project a 50 kW diesel generator set will be installed. several smaller hardware adaptations will be made, in order to make the automatic control of this system possible. At the same time the wind turbine control will be extended to make it possible to regulate the maximum power of the turbine. In spring 1991 this 'now really' autonomous Terschelling system will be operational. During 1991 and 1992 the energy management control will optimized.
C) Study into the system operated as if it is a renewable electricity supply in a 'weak' grid.
