Wind farms require reactive compensation to operate from 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging with the reactive power maintainable under reduced loading.

Enspec Power is gaining recognition in the renewable energy market by supplying VarComp reactive compensation to wind farms to comply with grid compliance issues Grid compliance (The Grid Code) is a code laid down by the transmission system operator (for example NGET in England, Scotland and Wales) requiring power generators to comply with certain standards to ensure a robust network is maintained

Enspec Power has been assisting wind-farm site owners, operators and systems manufacturers in the design, manufacture and supply of this vital equipment.

The majority of VarComp systems supplied to date are at 33kV but Enspec has the facilities and capabilities to provide any voltage required.

Wind farms require reactive compensation to operate from 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging with the reactive power maintainable under reduced loading.

Reductions in reactive power under part load start to apply below 50% of the megawatt load.

The reactive compensation must also be capable of maintaining zero reactive transfer across all megawatt loads.

The nature of these site means that the Enspec VarComp equipment is designed and built to withstand harsh environmental conditions and has a low maintenance profile.
