The topics for the EGAT meeting on 15th of January are as follow: 6. Impacts from the grid connection ‘The connection of WTGs and wind farms to the grid influences the grid. This can be related to: Change of short circuit power vv Power fluctuations which can lead to + Voltage fluctuations Flicker Harmonics Grid errors Resonance behaviour of grid The impact of WTGs on the grid must be within acceptable values. This can vary according to local guidelines as the situations at site differ from wind farm to wind farm. As a minimum requirement a load flow calculation has to be performed for every single wind farm to ensure that WTGs and other high and medium voltage equipment are suitable to work under the found conditions. Roughly estimated it can be expected that sites with a voltage increase due to power delivery into the grid of less than 3% of nominal voltage and a short circuit power at the point of WTG connection higher than 15 times of nominal WTG power allows WTGs to run properly If itis not possible to ensure that above mentioned values are futfilled further calculations are required. To provide the required values power quality measurements are performed at the WTG, These values are available on request. For the technical system used in S88-2.1 MW WTGs it is mostly the flicker factor which determines the ‘amount of WG which can be connected to the grid at a given point of common coupling. The IEC 61000-3-7 standard defines as an allowed value for long term flicker a factor of Pr < 0.25. With this limit the allowed amount of WTGs which can be connected to the grid may be calculated. The figure bellowr shows an average wind speed of 8.5 m/s, with grid impedance angle as a parameter. Local conditions, such as already existing sources of flicker or a grid condition where flicker is not critical can change the Pr values. ‘Average Windspeed7. Power capacity requirement SUZLON WTGs are designed to also operate when grid parameters differ from nominal values. For the ambient conditions specified in "General Specification; Power Supply, Protection Class, Ambient Conditions” the WTGs are able to run with nominal condition if the grid parameters in any combination are within the limits given for continuous operation. If limits are used which are allowed only for a determined period, a reduction of example power output or reactive current delivery may be required In case the given limits are reached. Power output according to grid parameters ‘The power output of the WTG depends on grid parameters. Nominal power output of the WTG or even some overpower Is possible between 90% and 110% of nominal voltage and a frequency range between -6 and +5% of nominal frequency. Below these values, the WTG is only able to work for a short period of time. For more details refer to Figure 4-1.

Only if any temperature leve the WIG Is raached the SCS reduces the power output to the level shown. The frequency oF this reduction ‘occurs depending on the climatic and wind conditions of the respective site. Hence, the estimated decrease of annual yield can only be calculated with site-specific long term data,8. Voltage regulation / Reactive power regulation requirement Voltage range Continuous operation range Regarding the design the WTG can work between 90% and 110% of nominal voltage. It trips when the following limits are reached: 0.8 x Un Grid Basic » Grid Standard > Grid Excellence Grid Basic The version Grid Basic has no VRT capability. It is used e.g. if the WTGs are connected to the medium voltage grid and should not have any VRT capability. If the WTG leaves the voltage range defined in Chapter Continuous operation range it is cut off the grid in the system own time of about 100 ms. The control system of the WTG is supported by an UPS for approximately five minutes. This is enough time to send out a grid error alarm report. If after five minutes not all three phases of the gird are In the limits defined in Chapter Continuous operation range the control system shuts down; it starts up automatically if the voltage Is In the allowed limits:Grid Standard and Grid Excellence The versions Grid Standard and Grid Excellence are designed for a VRT situation. Figure 3-3 shows the maximum allowed voltage ranges. If one phase voltage is not within the shown range the WTG trips. If all three phase values are within the shown range the WTG remains connected to the grid. The voltage range can be reduced if required by local grid standards.

Further details can be found in the related software documentation. WTGs with Grid Standard can also be operated without VRT functionality, This option can be used by activating the appropriate software button. ‘The difference between the Grid Standard and the Grid Excellence version is that a Grid Standard WTG is capable going through a VRT event, but does not support the grid supplying current to the grid. This WTG-type takes or delivers current from the grid according to its physical behaviour. It is to be used in a wind farm where additional components on wind farm level allows to fulfl the given grid requirements. Additionally to being capable going through VRT the version Grid Excellence supports the grid with a defined amount of current according to the following Figure
