• Air Force power was generated by diesel power
• Loads range from 1.6 to 2.4 MW
• Two 1900 kW diesel generators operate in parallel
with the wind farm
• Waste engine heat and fuel fired boilers power the
desalination system
• Fresh water production uses over 300,000 gallons
of Diesel a year

Phase 2
• Average wind power output of 1026 kW (38%
capacity factor)
• Average Penetration - 43-64%
• Maximum predicted penetration - 112 to 169%%
• How????
• Other features needed for stable operation
• Condensers, active controls, etc
Performance

Phase Two Economics and Operational Impacts
• Fuel Saving will grow
– 650,000 extra gallons of fuel a year
– a total of more than one million gallons of fuel saved every year
• 70,000 gallons of fresh drinking water can be produced every day with green wind energy, instead of diesel
• Simple Payback in 7 years
• Significantly reduces CO2 and NOX Emissions
• Stable, reliable, green, wind energy 5000 miles from home

High Penetration Design• Synchronous Condenser
(VAR support and Rotating Mass)
• 2 each (1 MW) electric boilers designed for;
• Steady state average load, plus
• Control variability - fine tuning
• Automated load/generation leveling
• Boiler controls monitor wind farm output
• Manage boiler load to wind farm output
• Keep Penetration low (adding boiler load)

• Restricted shipping schedules
• Pier restrictions
• Limited crane reach
–Very short towers
• Limited island access

LESSONS LEARNED• Perform resource assessments
• Partner at the beginning
• Performance based specifications
• Control system design and integration crucial
• Integrate load management into the control system for stability and high penetration
• Plan and model loads up front
• Wind/Diesel systems are very compatible
• You can have penetration above 25%, but plan and design for high penetration
