High Wind Energy Penetration in Hybrid Wind-Diesel Systems, and Innovative Approach Using Back-To-Back Power Electronic

Objective

The WINDPLUS project will contribute to the Implementation of up-to-date power electronics in wind-diesel energy systems, it will lead to:
1. enhance renewable energy penetration from 70 up to 85%, thus reduce fossil fuel usage;
2. deliver a cost of energy no more than 35% higher than the current local all-fosil fuel energy costs;
3. reduce the operation and maintenance costs compared to all-fossil fuel installations;
4. enhance the value of stored energy and increase battery life time;
5. enhance energy quality delivery, eliminate coupling perturbations and flicker;
6. optimize the turbine efficiency;
7. enhance the modularity and upgradability, thus have cheaper systems through quantities.

All this, coupled with advanced techniques for energy control like:
1. wind resource prediction;
2. load prediction and management;
3. user remote control, will allow anticipation in energy generation and easy and optimum management of the generated energy.
