Exhibit H.5
Grid Connection Form
1.
Purpose of the Document
The purpose of this document is to provide Vestas salesmen, wind project developers and other people working with grid connection of wind farms with information about the electrical grid, to which a given wind farm is to be connected.
The questionnaire must be filled in by the customer or the power station and handed over to Vestas, preferably in the early phase of the project development. The information given in the form is necessary for the general assessment of:
-
Operation of wind farms with Vestas wind turbines in parallel with a given electrical grid.
-
Power quality issues.
-
Compatibility with existing codes and other documents related to the connection of wind farms to electrical systems.
2.
Definitions and Clarifications of Items in the Grid Connection Form Part A
Part A
Questions in part A of the questionnaire are related to the conditions of the existing grid before wind turbines are connected. Power of Common Coupling (PCC) is defined as point of a power supply network, electrically nearest to a given wind farm, at which other loads are or may be connected.
1.
Nominal Grid Voltage (Un): Nominal voltage of the electrical system at PCC.
2.
Short-circuit level at PCC: Short-circuit apparent power, Sk, defined by the nominal voltage, Un, and short-circuit impedance Zk. Maximum value corresponds to normal operating structure of the electrical system, minimum value to unusual system structure, when Sk has minimum possible value.
3.
Network short-circuit resistance at PCC.
4.
X: Network short-circuit reactance at PCC.
5.
Permitted voltage variations at PCC during normal operation of the grid: Minimum and maximum expected deviation from nominal value of the voltage at PCC.
6.
Maximum expected voltage unbalance at PCC during normal operation of the grid: Voltage unbalance defined as relative value of negative phase voltage component, expressed in percentage of positive voltage component.
7.
Expected frequency variations at PCC during normal operation of the grid: Minimum and maximum expected deviation from nominal value of frequency at PCC.
8.
Harmonic content at PCC during normal operation of the grid: Maximum expected values of individual harmonics and THD value on the grid, at PCC.
Part B
Requirements to wind turbines when they operate on the grid - in case of normal operation of the grid:
9.
Permitted harmonics emission from the wind turbine: Maximum expected values of individual harmonics and THD value coming from wind turbine at PCC.
10.
Permitted flicker emission level from WT: Permitted Pst and Plt values as defined in IEC 61400 - 21.
11.
Permitted voltage rise at PCC: Maximum permitted voltage rise at PCC caused by normal operation of wind turbines.
12.
Requirements regarding power factor control of wind turbines: Vestas wind turbines can operate with different power factor values, or in some specific modes of operation related to power factor control. Any requirements related to resulting power factor on wind turbine or wind farm should be described here.
13.
Requirements regarding active power control: Vestas wind turbines can operate in special modes in which the active power output is controlled in a specific way by an external power reference. (For instance, limitation of power output under nominal value). Here, any requirements for controlling active power output from individual wind turbines or whole wind farms must be described.
14.
Requirements regarding reactive power control: Different modes of reactive power control from Vestas wind turbines are possible. Any specific requirements for reactive power control of the wind turbine or the wind farm must be described here.
15.
Requirements regarding models of wind turbines for grid simulation: Vestas has models of wind turbines that can be used for PSS/E simulation of wind turbine operation on the grid. On request, models can be delivered against a signed confidentiality agreement. Write here if a PSS/E model is requested and any information related to the modelling of wind turbines.
Part C
Requirements to wind turbines in case of fault on the grid.
16.
Expected behaviour of wind turbine in case of fault on the grid: In case of fault on the grid when voltage exceeds permitted values, the generator of a standard wind turbine will be disconnected and the wind turbine will stop. The wind turbine automatically restarts after the voltage on the grid has been within the limits for definite time (10 minutes). Wind turbines with Fault Ride Through option will not disconnect the generator during the fault (voltage deep), but will continue to operate for a certain time and under certain conditions. After the voltage is recovered, the wind turbine will re-establish normal operation and in that way support recovery of the electrical system after the fault.
If a wind turbine with fault ride through option is chosen, there can be some specific requirements for wind turbine behaviour during the fault period (e.g. reactive current injection). These requirements are dealt with in questions 17-18.
17.
Any requirements regarding active power control of the wind turbine during fault on the grid and after fault period must be described here.
18.
Requirements regarding reactive power control of the wind turbine during fault on the grid and during an after-fault period, if any, must be described here.
19.
Expected voltage change during fault and after-fault period: It is necessary here to describe the characteristic shape of voltage disturbance during the fault that the wind turbine must withstand without disconnection. It can be described or shown as a drawing.
20.
Maximum expected frequency changes during system disturbances. Amount and maximum ratio of frequency changes (Hz/sec): Maximum variation of frequency during system disturbances must be stated. Electrical code or other documentation related to the connection of the wind turbine: Relevant documents must be mentioned here.
