Description
The Wind Power Lab is a scientific infrastructure of the SEER research group that focuses its research on the effects of the high penetration of wind energy in the electricity grid, and the various solutions to improve its integration, attract the attention of wind turbine manufacturers, transport system managers and the research community.
The aims of the facility are:
- Study the behavior of wind energy generation systems in conditions of grid failure.
- Design specific control strategies to support the grid in failure conditions.
- Improve low voltage circulation through the capacity of wind energy systems.
- Design advanced functionalities to improve the efficiency of wind turbines.
- Experiment with wind energy systems connected to the grid.
