4 FAQs about Requirements for the layout of wind turbine generator sets

What are the design requirements for wind turbines?

The most comprehensive documents laying down design requirements for wind turbines are the standards for wind turbines developed under the technical committee TC88 (Wind Turbines). The wind energy standards are of the series IEC 61400. The available published standards include (situation end of 2010)

How to optimize a wind plant layout?

3.1.1. Method The first step in our layout optimization is to maximize the capacity, or the number of turbines, that can fit in wind plant without violating the turbine spacing constraints for a given turbine design. This step in itself has several substeps that were determined by a series of trials: Repeat until all parcels have been optimized.

What are the optimal wind plant layouts?

The optimal wind plant layouts with the objective of minimizing COE. The rows from top to bottom show the conservative, moderate, and advanced innovation turbines, where the size of each black dot is to scale representing the turbine rotor diameter. The columns from left to right show setback tip height multipliers of 0, 1.1, 2, and 3. constraint.

Are wind plants sensitive to setback constraints and Turbine sizes?

Developing methodologies to design wind plants with a variety of siting constraints and turbine sizes helps enable high wind penetration, and gain a better understanding of how wind plants are sensitive to setback constraints and turbine design. In this paper, we present a two-step optimization method to simultaneously determine the optimal number
