Iberdrola calls itself an “energy company of the future” because it is committed to renewable and clean energy. Among them, wind energy has more and more prominence, since it is one of the ones that has experienced the greatest growth in the last decade.
Iberdrola, or rather, ScottishPower Renewables(SPR) has made use of the wind power terrestrial to reactivate a part of the electrical network that was “off”. This has been achieved with the Dersalloch wind farm, which will become the first eolico Park of black start or black start in the world by the year 2022.
Lindsa McQuade, CEO of the SPR subsidiary, assures that what it has achieved will mark a before and after in how we understand the renewable energy and the role they play in creating a smart electrical system and decarbonized.
The press release also talks about how they managed to achieve this: "'grid formation' technology called virtual synchronous machines (VSM) was used to regulate the frequency and voltage of the turbines' power, essentially forming a stable grid island." , to keep the electrical system stable and balanced. “The technology was then used to integrate that supply with the grid and restore the part of the system that had been blocked.”
It should be noted that this milestone has been the result of the collaboration of several institutions:
Siemens Gamesa Renewables Energy (SGRE) has been in charge of implementing the technology necessary for the wind farm to function. In addition, he has also been a collaborator on the project SP Energy Networks (SPEN) to be able to interact with the network.
On the other hand, it is worth noting that Iberdrola has presented a historical investment plan For the next five years in which it plans to increase offshore wind capacity, or in other words, offshore wind energy.
As you can see, wind energy or any renewable energy is the future.
