Abstract

In this paper, the performance analysis of a 30 MW wind power plant is performed. The farm consists of fifteen (T1-T15) G9 7/2000/GAMESA 2 MW grid-connected turbines. The farm is in operation mode installed 28 km south of Nouakchott city in Mauritania. The analyzed data are monitored from July 1st, 2015 (the first operation day of the power plant) to December 31st, 2019. The parameters of performance evaluation are power generation, capacity factor, machine availability, grid availability, and system availability. It is observed from data analysis, the wind farm supplies a total energy of 507.39 GWh to the power grid and have a high average capacity factor of 42.55%. T1 produces the highest amount of electrical energy among the other turbines with a total energy output of 35.46 GWh, an average capacity factor of 44.97%, and operating hours of 33,814 hours. While T12 produced the minimum amount of energy in this period, the difference in energy compared to T1 is 4.563 GWh. It is observed that the availability of the network is unstable and needs improvement, varying between 90.86% in 2016 and 93.16% in 2018. In the first year of operation, 97.06% of the turbines were available. However, the average availability of the wind farm is approximately 94% during the total study period.

毛里塔尼亚努瓦克肖特30MW风电场运行模式下的性能分析

本文对一座30MW风电场进行了性能分析。该发电场由十五台（T1-T15）G9 7/2000/GAMESA 2 MW并网涡轮机组成。该农场处于运营模式，安装在毛里塔尼亚努瓦克肖特市以南28公里处。分析数据监测时间为2015年7月1日（电厂第一个运行日）至2019年12月31日。性能评估的参数包括发电量、容量因数、机器可用性、电网可用性和系统可用性。从数据分析中可以看出，该风电场向电网提供的总能量为507.39 GWh，平均容量因数为42.55%。在其他风机中，T1发电量最高，总能量输出为35.46 GWh，总容量因数为44.97%，运行小时数为33814小时。虽然T12在这一时期产生的能量最小，但与T1相比，能量差异为4.563GWh。据观察，网络的可用性不稳定，需要改进，2016年为90.86%，2018年为93.16%。在运行的第一年，97.06%的涡轮机可用。然而，在整个研究期间，风电场的平均可用性约为94%。
