NetVind

The goal of NetVind is to improve the operation of distribution systems with high wind power penetration by using the windpowerplants grid support capabilities taking into account the overall gridstability. This is accomplished through: 
•    Digitizing the communication between grid devices (i.e. wind turbine’s inverter) and the gridmonitoring system in relation to IEC 61850.
•    Minimizing grid losses in MV distribution systems by optimizing the reactive power flow and ensure compliance with requirements.
•    Making optimal use of the existing grid and obtain a benefit of the green transition by using regulation rather than to reinforce the grid.
•    Exploring which business model can be applied between players.
•    Testing the IT security infrastructure for data communication in accordance with IEC 62351.
•    Building up know-how on modelling the condition of the MV net.
•    Contributing to improvement and qualification of future technical regulations which should bind together the political, technical and financial interests.
The project seeks to achieve effective integration of renewable energy, considering the overall system security by optimizing  the wind power transmission upwards in the system so that unnecessary losses due to  new production/consumption scenarios are minimized and optimized by using the control capabilities of power electronics in wind turbines.
