Wind Diesel or Wind Gas Turbine Hybrid System
- In remote areas where wind conditions are favourable for generation and there’s non-availability of pied, the hybrid system for small and medium power systems with diesel engine, generators or gas turbine generators can be installed.
- The wind turbine generator and diesel generator can be connected in parallel. We wind power is available in sufficient amount, then the diesel generator can be cut-off.
- Diesel generator is started up when sufficient power from WTO is not available. It affects the considerable saving in fuel consumption of diesel engine.
- To reduce frequent starting and stopping of generator due to availability of fluctuating wind power the battery back up is provided to reduce the sudden changes in wind power.
- Hybrid system of wind-gas turbine is not suitable for this operation.
- A better solution is to run the diesel engine or the pas turbine continuously for power generation in parallel with wind turbine generator.
- It reduces the net load on the diesel engine plant/gas turbine plant. In order to reduce the wind power fluctuations, the battery can be incorporated into the system.
