2 General Description

Vestas 3MW Platform comprises a family of wind turbines sharing a common

design basis.

The 3MW Platform family of wind turbines includes V105-3.45 MW, V112-3.45

MW, V117-3.45 MW, V126-3.45 MW and V136-3.45 MW.

These turbines are pitch regulated upwind turbines with active yaw and a three-

blade rotor.

The wind turbine family provides rotors with a diameter in the range 105 m to 136

m and a rated output power of 3.45 MW.

A 3.45 MW Reactive Power Optimized Mode (QO1) is available for all variants.

A 3.6 MW Power Optimized Mode (PO1) is available for all variants except V136-

3.45 MW and V126-3.45 MW Low Torque (LTq).

Also, a 3.3 MW Load Optimized Mode (LO1) and a 3.0 MW Load Optimized

Mode (LO2) are available for all variants.

The wind turbine family utilises the OptiTip® concept and a power system based

on an induction generator and full-scale converter. With these features, the wind

turbine is able to operate the rotor at variable speed and thereby maintain the

power output at or near rated power even in high wind speed. At low wind speed,

the OptiTip® concept and the power system work together to maximise the power

output by operating at the optimal rotor speed and pitch angle.

Operating the wind turbine in the 3.45 MW Reactive Power Optimized Mode

(QO1) is achieved by applying an extended ambient temperature derate strategy

compared with 3.45 MW Mode 0 operation.

Operating the wind turbine in the 3.6 MW Power Optimized Mode (PO1) is

achieved by applying an extended ambient temperature derate strategy and

reduced reactive power capability compared with 3.45 MW Mode 0 operation.

3.15 Nacelle Bedplate and Cover

The nacelle cover is made of fibreglass. Hatches are positioned in the floor for

lowering or hoisting equipment to the nacelle and evacuation of personnel. The

roof section is equipped with wind sensors and skylights. The skylights can be

opened from inside the nacelle to access the roof and from outside to access the

nacelle. Access from the tower to the nacelle is through the yaw system.

The nacelle bedplate is in two parts and consists of a cast iron front part and a

girder structure rear part. The front of the nacelle bedplate is the foundation for

the drive train and transmits forces from the rotor to the tower through the yaw

system. The bottom surface is machined and connected to the yaw bearing and

the yaw gears are bolted to the front nacelle bedplate.

The crane girders are attached to the top structure. The lower beams of the

girder structure are connected at the rear end. The rear part of the bedplate

serves as the foundation for controller panels, the cooling system and

transformer. The nacelle cover is installed on the nacelle bedplate.

3.16.1 Generator and Converter Cooling

The generator and converter cooling systems operate in parallel. A dynamic flow

valve mounted in the generator cooling circuit divides the cooling liquid flow. The

cooling liquid removes heat from the generator and converter unit using a free-air

flow radiator placed on the top of the nacelle. In addition to the generator,

converter unit and radiator, the circulation system includes an electrical pump

and a three-way thermostatic valve.

3.16.2 Gearbox and Hydraulic Cooling

The gearbox and hydraulic cooling systems are coupled in parallel. A dynamic

flow valve mounted in the gearbox cooling circuit divides the cooling flow. The

cooling liquid removes heat from the gearbox and the hydraulic power unit

through heat exchangers and a free-air flow radiator placed on the top of the

nacelle. In addition to the heat exchangers and the radiator, the circulation

system includes an electrical pump and a three-way thermostatic valve.

3.16.3 Transformer Cooling

The transformer is equipped with forced-air cooling. The ventilator system

consists of a central fan, located below the converter and an air duct leading the

air to locations beneath and between the high voltage and low voltage windings

of the transformer.

3.16.4 Nacelle Cooling

Hot air generated by mechanical and electrical equipment is dissipated from the

nacelle by a fan system located in the nacelle.

3.16.5 Optional Air Intake Hatches

Specific air intakes in the nacelle can optionally be fitted with hatches which can

be operated as a part of the thermal control strategy. In case of lost grid to the

turbine, the hatches will automatically be closed.

4.1 Generator

The generator is a three-phase asynchronous induction generator with cage rotor

that is connected to the grid through a full-scale converter. The generator housing

allows the circulation of cooling air within the stator and rotor. The air-to-water

heat exchange occurs in an external heat exchanger.

4.5 HV Switchgear

A gas insulated switchgear is installed in the bottom of the tower as an integrated

part of the turbine. Its controls are integrated with the turbine safety system which

monitors the condition of the switchgear and high voltage safety related devices

in the turbine. This ensures all protection devices are fully operational whenever

high voltage components in the turbine are energised. The earthing switch of the

circuit breaker contains a trapped-key interlock system with its counterpart

installed on the access door to the transformer room in order to avoid

unauthorized access to the transformer room during live condition.

The switchgear is available in three variants with increasing features, see Table

4-7. Beside the increase in features, the switchgear can be configured depending

on the number of grid cables planned to enter the individual turbine. The design

of the switchgear solution is optimized such grid cables can be connected to the

switchgear even before the tower is installed and still maintain its protection

toward weather conditions and internal condensation due to a gas tight packing.

The switchgear is available in an IEC version and in an IEEE version. The IEEE

version is however only available in the highest voltage class. The electrical

parameters of the switchgear are seen in Table 4-8 for the IEC version and in

Table 4-9 for the IEEE version.

4.7 Wind Sensors

The turbine is either equipped with two ultrasonic wind sensors or optional one

ultrasonic wind sensor and one mechanical wind vane and anemometer. The

sensors have built-in heaters to minimise interference from ice and snow. The

wind sensors are redundant, and the turbine is able to operate with one sensor

only.

4.8 Vestas Multi Processor (VMP) Controller

The turbine is controlled and monitored by the VMP8000 control system.

VMP8000 is a multiprocessor control system comprised of main controller,

distributed control nodes, distributed IO nodes and ethernet switches and other

network equipment. The main controller is placed in the tower bottom of the

turbine. It runs the control algorithms of the turbine, as well as all IO

communication.

The communications network is a time triggered Ethernet network (TTEthernet).

The VMP8000 control system serves the following main functions:

Monitoring and supervision of overall operation.

Synchronizing of the generator to the grid during connection sequence.

Operating the wind turbine during various fault situations.

Automatic yawing of the nacelle.

OptiTip® - blade pitch control.

Reactive power control and variable speed operation.

5 Turbine Protection Systems

5.1 Braking Concept

The main brake on the turbine is aerodynamic. Stopping the turbine is done by

full feathering the three blades (individually turning each blade). Each blade has

a hydraulic accumulator to supply power for turning the blade.

In addition, there is a mechanical disc brake on the high-speed shaft of the

gearbox with a dedicated hydraulic system. The mechanical brake is only used

as a parking brake and when activating the emergency stop buttons.

5.3 Overspeed Protection

The generator rpm and the main shaft rpm are registered by inductive sensors

and calculated by the wind turbine controller to protect against overspeed and

rotating errors.

10.8 Operational Envelope – Reactive Power Capability in 3.45 MW Mode 0

The 3.45 MW turbine has a reactive power capability in Mode 0 on the low

voltage side of the HV transformer as illustrated in Figure 10-5:

Figure 10-5: Reactive power capability for 3.45 MW Mode 0.

When operating at 3.45 MW nominal power at LV side of the HV transformer, the

reactive power capability on the high voltage side of the HV transformer is

approximately:

cosφ(HV) = 0.95 capacitive @ U(HV) = 0.87 p.u. voltage

cosφ(HV) = 0.94/0.94 capacitive/inductive @ U(HV) = 0.88 p.u. voltage

cosφ(HV) = 0.93/0.91 capacitive/inductive @ U(HV) = 0.90 p.u. voltage

cosφ(HV) = 0.92/0.90 capacitive/inductive @ U(HV) = 1.00 p.u. voltage

cosφ(HV) = 0.95/0.89 capacitive/inductive @ U(HV) = 1.10 p.u. voltage

cosφ(HV) = 0.98/0.89 capacitive/inductive @ U(HV) = 1.13 p.u. voltage

Reactive power is produced by the full-scale converter. Traditional capacitors are,

therefore, not used in the turbine.

The turbine is able to maintain the reactive power capability at low wind with no

active power production.

All reactive power capability values are preliminary and subject to change.

3.45 MW Mode 0 derates above +30°C ambient temperature for ≤1250 m.a.s.l.

All reactive power capability values are preliminary and subject to change.

3.45 MW Reactive Power Optimized Mode (PO1) derates reactive power linearly

above +20°C ambient temperature for ≤1250 m.a.s.l. to converge with the

reactive power capability of 3.45 MW Mode 0 in Figure 10-5 at +30°C.

10.14 Performance – Reactive Current Contribution

The reactive current contribution depends on whether the fault applied to the

turbine is symmetrical or asymmetrical.

All reactive current contribution values are preliminary and subject to change.

10.14.1 Symmetrical Reactive Current Contribution

During symmetrical voltage dips, the wind farm will inject reactive current to

support the grid voltage. The reactive current injected is a function of the

measured grid voltage.

The default value gives a reactive current part of 1 p.u. of the rated active current

at the high voltage side of the HV transformer. Figure 10-11, indicates the

reactive current contribution as a function of the voltage. The reactive current

contribution is independent from the actual wind conditions and pre-fault power

level. As seen in Figure 10-11, the default current injection slope is 2% reactive

current increase per 1% voltage decrease. The slope can be parameterized

between 0 and 10 to adapt to site specific requirements.

Figure 10-11: Reactive current injection

10.14.2 Asymmetrical Reactive Current Contribution

The injected current is based on the measured positive sequence voltage and the

used K-factor. During asymmetrical voltage dips, the reactive current injection is

limited to approximate 0.4 p.u. to limit the potential voltage increase on the

healthy phases.

10.15 Performance – Multiple Voltage Dips

The turbine is designed to handle re-closure events and multiple voltage dips

within a short period of time due to the fact that voltage dips are not evenly

distributed during the year. For example, the turbine is designed to handle 10

voltage dips of duration of 200 ms, down to 20% voltage, within 30 minutes.

10.16 Performance – Active and Reactive Power Control

The turbine is designed for control of active and reactive power via the

VestasOnline® SCADA system.

Maximum Ramp Rates for External Control

Active Power 0.1 p.u./sec for max. power level change of 0.3 p.u.

0.3 p.u./sec for max. power level change of 0.1 p.u.

Reactive Power 20 p.u./sec

To support grid stability the turbine is capable to stay connected to the grid at

active power references down to 10 % of nominal power for the turbine. For

active power references below 10 % the turbine may disconnect from the grid.

10.17 Performance – Voltage Control

The turbine is designed for integration with VestasOnline® voltage control by

utilising the turbine reactive power capability.

10.18 Performance – Frequency Control

The turbine can be configured to perform frequency control by decreasing the output power as a linear function of the grid frequency (over frequency). Dead band and slope for the frequency control function are configurable.

10.19 Distortion – Immunity

The turbine is able to connect with a pre-connection (background) voltage distortion level at the grid interface of 8% and operate with a post-connection voltage distortion level of 8%.

10.20 Main Contributors to Own Consumption

The consumption of electrical power by the wind turbine is defined as the power

used by the wind turbine when it is not providing energy to the grid. This is

defined in the control system as Production Generator 0 (zero).

The components in Table 10-7 have the largest influence on the own

consumption of the wind turbine (the average own consumption depends on the

actual conditions, the climate, the wind turbine output, the cut-off hours, etc.).

The VMP8000 control system has a hibernate mode that reduces own

consumption when possible. Similarly, cooling pumps may be turned off when the

turbine idles.

description applicable to the updated version.

Vestas recommends that the grid be as close to nominal as possible with

limited variation in frequency and voltage.

A certain time allowance for turbine warm-up must be expected following grid

dropout and/or periods of very low ambient temperature.

All listed start/stop parameters (e. g. wind speeds and temperatures) are

equipped with hysteresis control. This can, in certain borderline situations,

result in turbine stops even though the ambient conditions are within the listed

operation parameters.

The earthing system must comply with the minimum requirements from

Vestas, and be in accordance with local and national requirements and codes

of standards.

This document, General Description, is not an offer for sale, and does not

1 Overview of ENERCON E-92 2 MW/2.35 MW

The ENERCON E-92 wind energy converter is a direct-drive wind energy converter with athree-bladed rotor, active pitch control, variable speed operation, and a nominal poweroutput of 2000/2350 kW. It has a rotor diameter of 92 m and can be supplied with hubheights of 78 m to 138 m.

2 ENERCON wind energy converter concept

ENERCON wind energy converters are characterised by the following features:

GearlessThe E-92 drive system comprises very few rotating components. The rotor hub and therotor of the annular generator are directly interconnected to form one solid unit. This re‐duces the mechanical strain and increases technical service life. Maintenance and servicecosts are reduced (fewer wearing parts, no gear oil change, etc.) and operating expensesalso decrease. Since there are no gears or other fast rotating parts, the energy loss be‐tween generator and rotor as well as noise emissions are considerably reduced.

Active pitch controlEach of the three rotor blades is equipped with a pitch unit. Each pitch unit consists of anelectrical drive, a control system, and a dedicated emergency power supply. The pitchunits limit the rotor speed and the amount of power extracted from the wind. In this way,the maximum output of the E-92 can be accurately limited to nominal power, even at shortnotice. By pitching the rotor blades into the feathered position, the rotor is stopped withoutany strain on the drive train caused by the application of a mechanical brake.

Indirect grid connectionThe power produced by the annular generator is fed into the distribution or transport gridvia the ENERCON Grid Management System. The ENERCON Grid Management System,which consists of a rectifier, a DC link and a modular inverter system, ensures maximumenergy yield with excellent power quality. The electrical properties of the annular genera‐tor are therefore irrelevant to the behaviour of the wind energy converter in the distributionor transport grid. Rotational speed, excitation, output voltage and output frequency of theannular generator may vary depending on the wind speed. In this way, the energy con‐tained in the wind can be optimally exploited even in the partial load range.

3.1 Rotor blades

The rotor blades made of glass-fibre reinforced plastic (glass fibre + epoxy resin) have amajor influence on the wind energy converter’s yield and its noise emission. The shapeand profile of the E-92 rotor blades were designed with the following criteria in mind:■ High power coefficient■ Long service life■ Low noise emissions■ Low mechanical strain■ Efficient use of material

E-92 components

D0374244-3 / DA 3 of 21

One special feature to be pointed out is the new rotor blade profile, which extends down tothe nacelle. This design eliminates the loss of the inner air flow experienced with conven‐tional rotor blades. In combination with the streamlined nacelle, utilisation of the wind sup‐ply is considerably optimised.The rotor blades of the E-92 were specially designed to operate with variable pitch controland at variable speeds. The PU-based surface coating protects the rotor blades from envi‐ronmental impacts such as UV radiation and erosion. This coating is highly resistant toabrasion and visco-hard.Microprocessor-controlled pitch units that are independent of one another adjust each ofthe three rotor blades. An angle encoder in each rotor blade constantly monitors the setblade angle and ensures blade angle synchronisation across all three blades. This pro‐vides for quick, accurate adjustment of blade angles according to the prevailing wind con‐ditions.

3.2 Nacelle

3.2.1 Annular generator

ENERCON wind energy converters (WECs) are equipped with a multi-polar, separatelyexcited synchronous generator (annular generator). The WEC operates at variablespeeds so as to optimally utilise the wind energy potential. The annular generator there‐fore produces alternating current with varying voltage, frequency and amplitude.The windings in the stator of the annular generator form two three-phase alternating cur‐rent systems that are independent of each other. Both systems are rectified independentlyof each other in the nacelle and combined by the direct-current distribution system. In thetower base the inverters reconvert the current into three-phase current whose voltage, fre‐quency, and phase position conform to the grid.Consequently, the annular generator is not directly connected to the receiving power gridof the utility/power supply company; instead, it is completely decoupled from the grid bythe full-scale converter.

3.3 Tower

The tower of the E-92 wind energy converter is either a steel tower or a concrete towermade of precast segments. Towers with different heights are available.All towers are painted and equipped with weather and corrosion protection at the factory.This means that no work is required in this regard after assembly except for repairing anydefects or transport damage. By default, the bottom of the tower comes with graduatedpaintwork (can be dispensed with if desired).Steel towers are steel tubes that taper linearly towards the top. They are prefabricatedand consist of a small number of large sections. Flanges with drill holes for bolting arewelded to the ends of the sections.The tower sections are simply stacked on top of each other and bolted together at the in‐stallation site. They are linked to the foundation by means of a bolt cage.The concrete tower is assembled from the precast concrete elements at the installationsite. As a rule, segments are dry-stacked; however, a compensatory grout layer can beapplied. Vertical joints are closed by means of bolt connections.Towers are pre-tensioned vertically by means of prestressing steel tendons. The pre‐stressing tendons run vertically either through ducts in the concrete elements or externallyalong the interior tower wall. They are anchored to the foundation.

For technical and financial reasons, the top slender part of the E-92 concrete tower ismade of steel. For instance, installing the yaw bearing directly on the concrete elements isunfeasible, and the considerably thinner wall of the steel section provides for more spacein the tower interior.

The Grid Management System, generator excitation and pitch control are all managed bythe control system to achieve maximum energy yield and excellent power quality.Decoupling the annular generator from the grid guarantees ideal power transmission con‐ditions. Sudden changes in wind speed are translated into controlled change in order tomaintain stable grid feed. Conversely, possible grid faults have virtually no effect on WECmechanics. The power injected by the E-92 can be precisely regulated from 0 kW to2000/2350 kW.In general, the features required for a certain wind energy converter or wind farm to beconnected to the receiving power grid are predefined by the operator of that grid. To meetdifferent requirements, ENERCON wind energy converters are available with differentconfigurations.The inverter system in the tower base is dimensioned according to the particular WECconfiguration. As a rule, a transformer inside or near the wind energy converter converts400 V low voltage to the desired medium voltage.

Reactive powerIf necessary, an E-92 equipped with standard FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System)control can supply reactive power in order to contribute to reactive power balance and tomaintaining voltage levels in the grid. The maximum reactive power range is available atan output as low as 10 % of the nominal active power. The maximum reactive powerrange varies, depending on the WEC configuration.

FT configurationBy default, the E-92 comes equipped with FACTS technology that meets the stringent re‐quirements of specific grid codes. It is able to ride through grid faults (undervoltage, over‐voltage, automatic reclosing, etc.) of up to 5 seconds (FT = FACTS + FRT [Fault RideThrough]) and to remain connected to the grid during these faults.If the voltage measured at the reference point exceeds a defined limit value, theENERCON wind energy converter changes from normal operation to a specific fault oper‐ating mode.Once the fault has been cleared, the wind energy converter returns to normal operationand feeds the available power into the grid. If the voltage does not return to the operatingrange admissible for normal operation within an adjustable time frame (5 seconds max.),the wind energy converter is disconnected from the grid.While the system is riding through a grid fault, various fault modes using different grid feedstrategies are available, including feeding in additional reactive current in the event of afault. The control strategies include different options for setting fault types.Selection of a suitable control strategy depends on specific grid code and project require‐ments that must be confirmed by the particular grid operator.

FTQ configurationThe FTQ configuration (FT plus Q+ option) comprises all features of the FT configuration.In addition, it has an extended reactive power range.

FTQS configurationThe FTQS configuration comprises all features of the FTQ configuration and has been ex‐panded to include the STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) option. TheSTATCOM option enables the wind energy converter to output and absorb reactive powerregardless of whether it generates and feeds active power into the grid. It is thus able toactively support the power grid at any time, similar to a power plant.

Frequency protectionENERCON wind energy converters can be used in grids with a nominal frequency of50 Hz or 60 Hz.The range of operation of the E-92 is defined by a lower and upper frequency limit value.Overfrequency and underfrequency events at the WEC reference point trigger frequencyprotection and cause the WEC to shut down after the maximum delay time of 60 secondshas elapsed.

Power-frequency controlIf temporary overfrequency occurs as a result of a grid fault, ENERCON wind energy con‐verters can reduce their power feed dynamically to contribute to restoring the balance be‐tween the generating and transmission networks. As a pre-emptive measure, the active power feed of ENERCON wind energy converterscan be limited during normal operation. During an underfrequency event, the power re‐served by this limitation is made available to stabilise the frequency. The characteristics ofthis control system can be easily adapted to different specifications.

5 Safety system

The E-92 comes with a large number of safety features whose purpose is to permanentlykeep the WEC inside a safe operating range. In addition to components that ensure safestopping of the wind energy converter, these include a complex sensor system. It continu‐ously captures all relevant operating states of the wind energy converter and makes therelevant information available through the ENERCON SCADA remote monitoring system.If any safety-relevant operating parameters are out of the permitted range, the WEC willcontinue running at limited power or it will stop.

5.1 Safety equipment

Emergency stop buttonIn an ENERCON wind energy converter there are emergency stop buttons next to thetower door, on the control cabinet in the tower base, on the nacelle control cabinet and, ifrequired, on further levels of the E-module. Actuating an emergency stop button activatesthe rotor brake. Emergency pitching of the rotor blades takes place.The following are still supplied with power:■ Rotor brake■ Beacon system components■ Lighting■ Sockets

Main switchIn an ENERCON wind energy converter, main switches are installed on the control cabi‐net and the nacelle control cabinet. When actuated, they de-energise virtually the entirewind energy converter.The following are still supplied with power:■ Beacon system components■ Service hoist■ Sockets■ Lighting■ Medium-voltage area

5.2 Sensor system

There is a large number of sensors that continuously monitor the current status of thewind energy converter and the relevant ambient parameters (e.g. rotor speed, tempera‐ture, blade load, etc.). The control system analyses the signals and regulates the wind en‐ergy converter such that the wind energy available at any given time is always optimallyexploited and operating safety is ensured at the same time.

Redundant sensorsIn order to be able to check plausibility by comparing the reported values, more sensorsthan necessary are installed for some operating states (e.g. for measuring the generatortemperature). Defective sensors are reliably detected and can be replaced by activation ofa spare sensor. In this way, the wind energy converter can safely continue its operationwithout the need for replacement of major components.
