1 Wind power forecast accuracy under icing conditions General approach, practical applications and options for considering effects of wind turbine icing Michael Durstewitz, Jan Dobschinski, Zouhair Khadiri-Yazami ISET Germany 1

2 Outline Introduction Wind energy development in Germany Challenges of grid integration Forecasting of Wind power Influences of icing situations to forecast quality Conclusions 2

6 Wind power installations and TSO regions TSO mission e.on - balancing of generation and demand - grid stability voltage, frequency - provide reserve power (UCTE: 3000 MW primary control reserve ) VET konv. Erzeugung RWE Leistung [MW] Old school: conventional production = load EnBW Stunden 6

7 Situation today Leistung [MW] Windenenergie konv. Erzeugung Hundreds of wind farms and single turbines Fluctuating power generation Non-dispatchable generators Privileged production of RE Today: conventional production = load wind energy Stunden Purchase commitment by utilities consequences for stable and reliable grid operation Information about actual state of wind power feed-in + short & medium term forecast is essential Foto: NEG Micon 7

8 Situation tomorrow results of DENA study load w/o wind load incl. wind Load profile & wind generation Power [MW] conv. generation = load wind generation Hours No additional conventional generation is necessary => Grid management (frequency, voltage control,...) needed 8

20 Google earth Forecast errors caused by icing???? Task: Analyse forecast quality with measured results Selected sites: Mountainous regions Elev m asl Example: WP Ulrichstein/Vogelsberg sev. types / ~ 11 MW tot Elevation ~600 m asl Low mountain range Several icing reports Data: Measured P (subst) DWD-Analysis data 20

21 WP Ulrichstein / Temperature profile ( JAN, FEB, DEC ) Frequency distribution of ambient temperature DEC JAN DEC JAN 12% FEB FEB 10% 8% 6% 4% T / C Span of T and avg. temp. by months 2% 0% T / C 21

27 Distribution of observed forecast errors vs. temperature mean error % site: Ulrichstein elev.: ~ 600 m asl -50 T / C 27

28 Conclusions 1 / outlook WPMS is a powerful tool for integrating wind power Reliability of results has to be checked for low temperatures Next steps: Identification and analysis of data from other sites P max, other parameter, icing footprint definition Integration into ANN training procedure Automatic ice detection-procedure (measurements & forecasts) Probability of icing risk, expected losses of power output Warning system for icing events Verification of results Implementation / update of WPMS 28

29 Conclusions 2 Forecasting is difficult especially when considering the future! 29
