Together, the two companies have for the first time in the country, executed the so-called Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) test to satisfy grid procedures of the National System Operator\u2019s (ONS) technical requirements to ensure the security, reliability, and efficiency of the system. The purpose was to assess the capacity of the turbine  to remain connected to the grid in the event of possible grid instability.<br \/>\nWith the significant increase of intermittent renewable energy generation in Brazil such as wind and solar, this type of testing is expected to be among  the requirements of the ONS with a view to mitigating systemic risks of power outages. The procedure was one more among the innovations of R&#038;D Wind developed by ENGIE in partnership with WEG and CELESC, the state-owned electric power utility for Santa Catarina, in order to anticipate this future demand of the sector as well as to guarantee that the equipment produced by WEG has the best efficiency and performance, thus contributing to Brazilian energy security.<br \/>\n\u201cWEG continues its journey of developing advanced domestic technology in the Brazilian wind power market. LVRT tests have been a part of the project since its beginning and have been performed at a critically important moment for the Brazilian power grid which has been impacted by recent instabilities. These tests serve to confirm reliability of performance during transitory grid downtime\u201d, explains Jo\u00e3o Paulo Gualberto da Silva, Executive Officer at WEG Energia.<br \/>\nIn all, 172 LVRT tests were run, based on which WEG was able to modify parameters, validate and optimize the product\u2019s resistance to this type of disturbance in the system. The tests were monitored by a group from ONS, technicians and researchers from the SENAI Institute for Innovation in Renewable Energies (ISI-ER), responsible for UMGAT (Mobile Generating Unit of Voltage Sagging) where real simulations of short circuits were carried out for evaluations on the wind turbine, part of the preliminary studies necessary for the procedure and carrying out the test campaign in conjunction with the Spanish company Barlovento.<br \/>\nSENAI and the company have been working to develop wind turbine technologies for over 12 years. \u201cWithin this collaboration, there was a technological transfer of knowledge in the area of voltage sagging and energy quality so that the wind turbines that will be developed in Brazil can meet the requirements of the ONS network code and the world\u201d, emphasizes the Research &#038; Technology coordinator of the SENAI Institute for Innovation in Renewable Energy (ISI-ER), Antonio Medeiros, highlighting that \u201cwhen the wind turbine passes this type of test it also demonstrates that the technology developed in Brazil has the capacity to be commercialized in any country in the world , as long as it meets the technical voltage and frequency requirements for connection, contained in the procedures and\/or network code of each country\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>First Brazilian wind turbine<br \/>\nWith a 4.2 MW capacity, the wind turbine developed as a result of the combined  efforts of ENGIE Brasil Energia, WEG, and CELESC is the first of its type designed and produced in Brazil. Installed in ENGIE Brasil Energia\u2019s experimental R&#038;D park in Tubar\u00e3o (SC), the equipment was designed and manufactured by WEG at its Jaragu\u00e1 do Sul (SC) plant. The project was developed within the scope of the Research, Development, and Innovation Program (PDI) under the auspices of ANEEL.<br \/>\n\u201cThis R&#038;D project is evidence that the synergy between major corporations is an important accelerator in the country\u2019s development. The results of this test enhance the value chain as a whole from developers of the wind turbine to energy generators that apply the technology in the field. The completed tests also demonstrate how the developed wind turbine meet the requirements of the National System Operator in the event of  grid disturbances, thus strengthening the continued expansion of this source in Brazil\u2019s energy matrix.\u201d comments Felipe Rejes de Simoni, Performance and Innovation Manager at ENGIE Brasil Energia.<br \/>\n\u201cCelesc recognizes the strategic importance of this test, anticipating as it does the requirements of the ONS and promoting the country\u2019s energy security. This collaborative effort is also a tangible result of the  Research, Development, and Innovation\u2019s (RDI) wind project in which CELESC has invested R$ 30 million in conjunction with ENGIE and WEG, contributing to driving technological progress and promoting efficiency in wind power generation. In addition, the wind power resulting from this effort represents not only a technological achievement, but also a milestone in the capacity for innovation on the part of the Brazilian energy sector, involving a complex project embracing almost the full range of engineering skills and contributing to Celesc\u2019s continued commitment of supporting initiatives which drive the transition to a cleaner and more efficient  energy matrix\u201d, comments Roberto Kinceler, Research, Development and Innovation Manager at Celesc.<br \/>\nOver the course of its development, the project consolidated into one of ENGIE\u2019s largest R&#038;D projects in Brazil with an investment of more than R$ 80 million. The turbine and supporting equipment together weigh 201.3 tons and were manufactured by WEG at its headquarters and tested at the largest wind turbine test structure in the Americas, with testing capacity to serve future platforms of up to 6 MW. In addition, the wind blades were manufactured by the Aeris company in Caucaia, state of Cear\u00e1.<br \/>\nSENAI and the company have been working to develop wind turbine technologies for over 12 years. \u201cWithin this collaboration, there was a technological transfer of knowledge in the area of voltage sagging and energy quality so that the wind turbines that will be developed in Brazil can meet the requirements of the ONS network code and the world\u201d, emphasizes the Research &#038; Technology coordinator. Development (R&#038;D) of the SENAI Institute for Innovation in Renewable Energy (ISI-ER), Antonio Medeiros, highlighting that \u201cwhen the wind turbine passes this type of test it also demonstrates that the technology developed in Brazil has the capacity to be commercialized in any country in the world , as long as it meets the technical voltage and frequency requirements for connection, contained in the procedures and\/or network code of each country\u201d.<\/p>\n<script>console.log('Aud01');<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Successful test anticipates ONS requirement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-114173","imprensa","type-imprensa","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tipo-release-renewables-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
