Transcription

1 3rd International Summit on Wind Farms Life Extension Operational Improvement, Repowering and Wind Farms Life Extension Madrid, October 9th h00 Opening Rocío Sicre, President. AEE Raúl Blanco, Secretary-General of Industry and SME. Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism, Spain 09h30 Increase in production of existing wind farms, low cost solutions Main target of this session is showing different solutions to increase wind farms production at low cost, such as: use of data, improvement of aerodynamic efficiency or the incorporation of solutions to increase the production in several resource conditions. Improvement of the configuration and lengthening of the blades Optimized production scheduling Solutions to increase production without compromising the life of wind turbines Improvement of production and operations. How the useful life of the machine is managed in real time. Alberto Linares, Technology Development Chief Engineer WindCom. Siemens Gamesa Integration challenges of extenders in the blades to increase the production. LM Wind Power (PC) Aeronautical Knowledge Applied to the Life Extension of Wind Turbines. Pedro Muñoz, Engineering Manager. Aeroblade

2 10h30 Maintenance improvements of wind farms The maintenance of wind farms is marked by two elements: the progressive aging of the facilities and the evolution of the market price, since all the old ones are actually merchant projects. In this session, it is analyzed the current situation in some specific cases and several solutions are studied. Experience in the maintenance of wind farms, main learned lessons Optimized use of SCADA data New developments to assess the failures of wind turbines 2 Presenter: Íñigo Vázquez, Chief Executive Officer. Revergy Predictive maintenance based on SCADA data. Jonas Corné, Chief Executive Officer. Greenbyte Current signature analysis for DFIGs diagnosis. Estefanía Artigao, Researcher. University of Castilla-La Mancha Analytics challenges with impact on the availability of large-scale wind turbines. Ander Larrañaga, Energy Chief Business Development Officer. NEM Solutions 11h30 Coffee Break 12h00 Operational improvements of wind farms The improvement of the production of wind farms in a scenario of electricity sale in a wholesale market is one of the needs of wind farms, whose lives are to be extended. Better orientation of wind farms thanks to a control improvement Improvements in control of the orientation of wind turbines Use of the territory and the electrical infrastructure to carry out hybrid renewable projects The solutions to complete the traditional lack of functional and operational information of wind farms. Carlos Albero, Asset and Operations Management IBERIA and LATAM. DNV GL Specific actions to optimize the performance of wind farms. Aleix Torner, Team Leader Plant Performance Europe. Senvion The impact on the production of wind-photovoltaic integration. Juan Tesón, Operations and Maintenance. Endesa EGPE Improvement of control systems in reduction of failures and the improvement of operation of the parks. Javier Gutiérrez, Operations Manager. Isotrol

3 13h15 Repowering of wind farms Challenges and opportunities for wind farms strategy. Second-hand market management Regulatory issues that influence repowering Business decisión-making strategies 3 The incidence of change of step in durability of wind turbines. Frank Svarre, Global Sales Manager. DEIF Second-hand wind turbines adaptation to operate in different resource conditions and regulation. (PC) Regulatory adaptation of repowering. IDAE - Ministry for Ecological Transition (PC) Manufacturers alternatives beyond José María Guillot, Service Sales Manager of Fleet Optimization. Vestas 14h00 Meal 15h15 Specific solutions for the improvement of transmission and pitch control systems Improvements in mechanical transmission and reduction of fatigue loads are very important to explain the increase of life of wind turbines as well as in the reduction of structural failures because of the aging process in wind turbines. Advanced lubrication systems for bearing and gears Repair Methods with a reduced impact on the availability of wind farms Advanced procedures for the evaluation of the loads in wind turbines without compromising the life of main components Common mistakes and false myths in filtering lubricants for wind turbines. Roberto González, Field Engineer. Moove Lubricantes Hydraulic step change systems: experiences and solutions. DK (PC) LEO solution -Life Extension in Eolics- an onboard and self-managed system to evaluate the structural integrity of the main shaft of the wind turbine. Jokin Rubio, Operations Manager. Tecnalia

4 16h15 Coffee Break 16h30 Implications in Business management for life extension of wind farms The need to operate wind farms to reduce the loads, maximizing the income, considering the availability of the resource and market prices, which is making changes in the asset managing of wind farms. 4 Rates of incidents in existing wind farms Suitability of diagnostic procedures to evaluate the remaining life of the facilities Different experiences of asset management in the last 10 years Characterization of life in structural elements (fatigue) and non-structural (weathering). Ángel Sedano, Senior Engineer - Asset Management Services. UL The complexity of objectifying the remaining life in a multi-technology scenario. Fernando Castellano, Renewable Energies Manager I+D area. Technological Institute of The Canary Islands Learned lessons in assets maintenance based on historical data. Nathan Hill, Energy Resource Services Specialist. Lloyd s Registers 17h30 The experience in other countries: Life extension vs. repowering The aging of wind farms makes new challenges in the way of using the wind farm side elements to the wind farm in a critical implication at costs and the components lasting. Exchanging of experiences in different technological concepts Data treatment, beyond big data Optimization of the operation according to the different sectors that characterize the direction of wind Olivier Perot, Chief Executive Officer. France Energie Eolienne (French Wind Power Association) José Medeiros, Secretary-General. APREN (Portuguese Wind Power Association) Jakob Juul, Head of Division. Danish Energy Agency 18h30 Closing. Juan Virgilio Márquez. General Director. AEE
