Beyond Default: How to Calibrate Your Availability Profiles with Different Wind Turbines
Presenter: Kajetan Nowak
(EDIT: Dominik Madej will be also present at the poster session)
Description:
The modelling of wind availability profiles is a simple, yet tricky to master, process. Have you ever wondered why default assumptions generated unexpected results? What if the default setting doesn’t apply in your case?
In this talk I will discuss how different turbine models affect final results. I’ve made renewables profiles in Atlite using the ERA5 dataset and compared them to the historical generation based on ENTSO-e. I’ll explain why Vestas_112_3MW profile was problematic in Instrat’s cases. I’ll quickly discuss other wind turbines, especially their capacity factors. I’ll show you what works for the modelling of Poland, and may apply to your area. I’ll explain why you shouldn’t be scared of profile smoothing.
This presentation will be accompanied by its own repository, and hopefully pull requests into other open modelling projects.
Background: This work was done within the statutory activity of Instrat. It contributed to province-level profiles in the PyPSA-PL model, our paper called Grids Fit-For-Purpose and our collaboration with the TGE (Polish Energy Exchange). Special thanks to the former & current members of Instrat team, especially Patryk Kubiczek, Michał Grabka, Michał Smoleń, Wojciech Przedlacki, Agata Miazga, Małgorzata Domińska, and Michał Hetmański.
