st. Helena
● Remote Island, South Atlantic
Ocean
● 4000 Inhabitants
● Sovereign British territory
● Only accessible by boat –
Ascencion, Cape Town
● Boat transport capacity limitated
● Until 2016 (Airport ready)
● Steep and challenging terrain
The windturbines of St. Helena - WSSW 2014 - Frits Ogg 5
Previous
● 6 Aging diesel generators
● 6 windturbines
● 11 kV distribution network
● Average hourly demand 1 MW
● Maintaining power supply
during installation
The windturbines of St. Helena - WSSW 2014 - Frits Ogg 6
New situation
● Replacing 4 existing
generators (3 Cat 3516B & 1 Cat 3508B)
● Extensive control system
● IMC Worldwide – Senergy –
Barloworld Power
● New 11 kV switchgear
● More Windturbines
● Dec 2012 system operates
reliable, operators trained

Medium windturbines
~ 50 kW => ~ 300 kW
The windturbines of St. Helena - WSSW 2014 - Frits Ogg 8
WES & Windenergy
● 1980 Dutch wind turbine pioneer Henk Lagerwey
● 2003 Lagerwey went out of business
● 2004 Wind Energy Solution (WES) is the owner of
Lagerwey’s exclusive rights, drawings and
engineering files
● The original Lagerwey LW wind turbine was
installed mainly for farmers in the Netherlands.
● WES improved the mechanical control system and
replaced power conversion with modern, remote-
monitored technology.

Hybrid
technology
The windturbines of St. Helena - WSSW 2014 - Frits Ogg 10
Controlling the maximum power output
●Primary Control: based on grid frequency
B(Passive pitching)
●Secondary Control: based on communication
B(Optical, Ethernet etc.)
WES HYBRID CONCEPT
Passive Pitching
●Maximum rotor speed limitation
●Reduced power production is possible
The windturbines of St. Helena - WSSW 2014 - Frits Ogg 11
●Fly wheel needed to maintain a stable frequency
●Dump load needed to shed the excess energy generated
●Wind power penetration is usually not larger than 30%
●An external power management system is needed to
Bcontrol the whole system
Conventional System:
●Continuous and
Bimmediate output control
●No external management
Bsystem, fly wheel and
Bdump loads needed
●Excess energy can be
Bused to power the diesel
Bgenerator
WES Hybrid System:
The windturbines of St. Helena - WSSW 2014 - Frits Ogg 12
Grid Power Balance 1
● Grid power balance is 50 Hz or 60 Hz
● Higher grid frequency when consumption is less than
production
● The Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) of the diesel
generator measures the changing grid frequency and
will decrease the output
● When the frequency goes beyond its own control
boundaries the wind turbine will limit its output
● The wind energy potential at that moment will not be
(fully) converted into electricity
The windturbines of St. Helena - WSSW 2014 - Frits Ogg 13
Grid Power Balance 2
● Less energy is fed into the grid, the demand and supply
will become balanced again and the frequency will
decrease
● The reduction of the wind energy supply will continue
until the required grid frequency has been reached
● The frequency will drop below the required level when
the demand for energy is greater than the diesel
generator and the wind turbine can supply at that
moment
● When a number of users are suddenly switching on or
when the wind speed drops, the diesel generator will
automatically inject extra fuel to meet the extra energy
demand
The windturbines of St. Helena - WSSW 2014 - Frits Ogg 14
Benefits & Impact
● Since 1998 three turbines have been
operating on the island and can
deliver 600.000kWh/year to the local
grid.
● During the 15 or so years since
these turbines were installed, the use
of electricity on the island has
doubled.
● Another three turbines were added in
2009.
● WES has now sold another six
turbines to the island, that are
installed now. The estimated pay-
back time for the turbines is 2-4
years.

SCADA
(Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition)
Benefits & Impact 2
●
The diesel station is controlling
Bthe maximum power output of
Bthe wind turbines
● Up to 60% of the electrical
Bpower has been supplied by the
Bwind turbines
● With the addition of 6 turbines
Bthe target is to reach a wind
Bpenetration level of 80% or more
Diesel Saving
● 1L Diesel = 36 MJ/l = 10 kWh/l
● Efficiency of diesel gen-set = 30%
● 1L Diesel = 3 kWh
● 1L Diesel = € 1,-
● 1 kWh = € 0,33
● 1 x WES80 at 18m tower producing about
BB200.000 kWh/year = saving about 65.000 l/year
The windturbines of St. Helena - WSSW 2014 - Frits Ogg 16
Power Quality – harmonics
● Switching electronics cause vulnerabilities on
an AC grid = a concerning development
● One of these vulnerabilities are harmonics
● Harmonics are not only produced by PV and
Windenergy converters but also by LED
drivers, computers and motor control devices
● Harmonics are to be prevented / filtered
The windturbines of St. Helena - WSSW 2014 - Frits Ogg 17
Actual situation
● Installing 6 new turbines on st. Helena
● Article (Windtech – international) medium

● Actual overview manufacturers medium

● Overview Power balancing systems
