Wind Power: Now, Tomorrow C.P. (Case) van Dam EME-1 Mechanical Engineering November 14, 2016

How does it function?

Wind Turbine Power •  The amount of power generated by a turbine depends on the power in

the wind and the efficiency of the turbine:

•  Power in wind

•  Efficiency or Power Coefficient, Cp: –  Rotor (Conversion of wind power to mechanical power) –  Gearbox (Change in rpm) –  Generator & Inverter (Conversion of mechanical power to electrical power)

Region 4

•  Region 1 Turbine is stopped or starting up

•  Region 2 Efficiency maximized by maintaining optimum rotor RPM (for variable speed turbine)

•  Region 3 Power limited through blade pitch

•  Region 4 Turbine is stopped due to high winds (loads)

HAWT Power Characteristics Johnson et al (2005)

•  Peak Cp at TSR = 9 •  This Cp is maintained in Region II of power curve by controlling rotor RPM •  In Region III power is controlled by changing blade pitch.

HAWT Cp-TSR Curve Jackson (2005)

•  Cp = Protor / (1/2 ρ Vw3 Ad) •  Solidity = Blade Area / Ad •  TSR = Tip Speed / Vw •  High power efficiency for

rotors with low solidity and high TSR

•  Darrieus (VAWT) is less efficient than HAWT

Efficiency of Various Rotor Designs

Tip Speed Ratio TSR = π D RPM / (60 Vw)

Modern Wind Turbines

•  1.0-3.0 MW •  Wind speeds: 3-25 m/s

–  Rated power at 11-12 m/s •  Rotor

Why Wind Energy? •  Renewable

–  Guaranteed “fuel” availability –  Many regions in world are wind energy rich –  No cost volatility

•  Clean –  Emission free operation –  No waste generation

•  Installation –  Rapidly deployed

•  Security –  Non-centralized installation and operation –  No imported fuel requirement

•  Economics –  Cost effective energy –  Local economic benefits

•  Does not rely on water

E. Mayda

•  1980s: U.S. was the leader in installed wind power capacity

•  1990s: other countries quickly outpaced the U.S.

•  2000s: US installations rapidly increased, driven by competitive pricing and favorable policies

•  2012: Record new capacity •  2013-present: Significant

concern and uncertainty over Production Tax Credit (PTC) status, record low natural gas prices, competition from PV

California Wind Resource

•  California wind maps. Developed by AWS Truepower for CEC

•  Mean annual wind speed at 30, 50, 70, 100 m heights at 200 m spatial resolution

•  Maps indicate limited onshore resource except for several areas: San Gorgonio, Tehachapi, Altamont, Solano

CA Energy Future •  California has an aggressive Renewables Portfolio Standard

(RPS). This standard requires all utilities to adopt the following RPS targets: -  An average of 20% of retail sales from renewables in 2011-2013. -  25% by the end of 2016. -  33% by the end of 2020. -  50% by the end of 2030.

•  In 2012, California served about 22% of retail electricity sales from facilities using renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and small hydroelectric.

•  The CEC estimates that this electricity was generated from about 12,300 MW of wholesale generation and 1,600 MW of self- generation.

•  CA operating renewable energy capacity grew from 14,100 MW in 2012 to 17,400 MW in 2013.

•  On track to meet or exceed 33% RPS by 2020 -  + rooftop PV - 5% -  + large hydro - 10% Source: CEC

1.  Downward ramping capability Thermal plants to serve load at night ramped down to deal with influx of solar after sunrise

2.  Minimum generation flexibility Thermal resources must have lower minimum generation levels to minimize overgeneration

3.  Upward ramping capability Thermal resources must have quick start up and ramp up capabilities to deal with sundown loss in solar and peak load

4.  Peaking capability System must be capable to meet reliably peak loads

5.  Sub-hourly flexibility System flexibility needed to meet sub-hourly ramping

50% RPS Study Conclusions & Recommendations

•  50% RPS does not face major technical hurdles •  May lead to overgeneration conditions during

daylight hours •  Will lead to higher electricity rates than 33% RPS •  Solutions to mitigate operational challenges and

reduce cost: - Increase regional coordination - sharing of flexible

resources across WECC territory - Develop diverse portfolio of renewable resources - Implement long-term, sustainable solutions to address

overgeneration - Implement distributed generation solutions
