Grid Power Balance 1

(rid power balance is 5! Hz or 8! Hz Higher grid frequency when consumption is less than production The 1utomatic :oltage 3egulator $1:3% of the diesel generator measures the changing grid frequency and will decrease the output When the frequency goes beyond its own control boundaries the wind turbine will limit its output The wind energy potential at that moment will not be $fully% con,erted into electricity
The windturbines of St. Helena - WSSW 2014 - Frits Ogg 12

Grid Power Balance 2

Dess energy is fed into the grid, the demand and supply will become balanced again and the frequency will decrease The reduction of the wind energy supply will continue until the required grid frequency has been reached The frequency will drop below the required le,el when the demand for energy is greater than the diesel generator and the wind turbine can supply at that moment When a number of users are suddenly switching on or when the wind speed drops, the diesel generator will automatically inIect e<tra fuel to meet the e<tra energy demand The windturbines of St. Helena - WSSW 2014 - Frits Ogg 13

Since "CC> three turbines ha,e been operating on the island and can deli,er 8!!.!!!9WhJyear to the local grid. ?uring the "5 or so years since these turbines were installed, the use of electricity on the island has doubled. 1nother three turbines were added in !!C. W)S has now sold another si< ?eadwood plain st.Helena turbines to the island, that are installed now. The estimated paybac9 time for the turbines is -# years.
