Performance of wind turbines and generating efficiency in the KITKA Park
Session
Energy Efficiency Engineering
Description
Global demands for electricity have increased the pace of investment in the Republic of Kosovo as well, increasing the generation capacity of clean electricity without fossil pollution. The purpose of this paper is the performance of wind turbines and their generating efficiency in the six-month period of 2022. The latest technology equipment with a generating capacity of 9 wind turbines has been installed in the Kitka Park. The generating capacity is GE 137-3.6 MW with a nominal power of 3.6 MW. The technology used is of the General Electric brand with a total installed capacity of 32.5 MW. The performance of the turbines is affected by the local wind conditions, the speed of the cutting field lines of the turbine blades and the number of turbines in operation. In our research, it has been observed that the generation of electricity in the Kitka Park in the first three months of 2022 has had a small increase in the generation capacity compared to the first period of 2021, the generation capacity in kWh is approximately the same as the annual average. The method of electronic measurement (electrical meter) and the measurements of the operating time are accurate to the millimeter in relation to the measurement distributed in the distribution network.
Keywords:
