Electrical Integration of Wind Farms

Courtney Powell

In this article, we will look at the integration of modern wind turbine generators (and by extension wind farms) into the electric power grids. Modern wind turbine generator Modern wind turbine generators (WTG) can be broadly categorized as either vertical axis or horizontal axis. The horizontal axis wind turbine design is much more efficient at… Continue reading Electrical Integration of Wind Farms

Electricity from the Wind – Part 2

Courtney Powell

In this article, we will look at some of the wind turbine design parameters that are specific to wind farm sites. Wind turbine design parameters Modern wind turbines are designed for specific wind conditions, which varies from site to site. Therefore, when planning a wind power plant careful considerations must be given to the wind… Continue reading Electricity from the Wind – Part 2
