Abstract
A modular system for the supply of remote electrical consumers was developed, which makes possible a variable integration of wind energy and photovoltaic plants in connection with a diesel engine and a battery storage. The wind energy converters, equipped with asynchronous generators, and a fast pitch control, work parallel with a synchronous generator. The generator is driven by a diesel engine by means of an overrunning clutch, or started by a small DC-motor. If the diesel is off, or the starting process by the DC-motor is finished, the synchronous generator works as a rotating phase-shifter and takes over voltage control and supply of reactive power. The speed versus power control of the wind energy converters does not only make possible an optimized parallel operation with the diesel-generator unit, but also directly takes over frequency control when operated singly without diesel engine. The location of the wind energy plants does not depend on the site of the diesel engine, because control cables are not necessary. To avoid too frequent starting of the diesel, a storage battery is installed. The report describes the electrical and control technical design on principle, as well as the experience with the following, already built plants: -Coupling of two wind energy plants for the supply of water irrigation pumps. -Combination of two WECs with a short-time battery storage and a diesel-set. -Combination of two WECs with a photovoltaic generator and a battery storage.
