Current Topics

The WP Instrumentation and Control and IT and the WP Electrical Equipment reported about the main results of the last meetings.

In the research project on "Effects of fluctuating wind energy feeding on the control- and thermodynamic operating characteristics of the conventional power plants” a new software model for the modelling was integrated. Presently the new models were valuated and first analyze are testet.

In the Steering Committee for the research project “Reduction of the operational demands on power plants” concrete frequency measurements were analysed. Further more the different concepts for the dispatching of fossil fired power plants and hydro power plants are integrated in the research activities.

The invitations for the KELI 2008 06th to 8th May 2008 in Hamburg were distributed. The Steering Committee emphasized the wide activities regarding the program for students.

The subject of grid codes and the UCTE requirements for generating units are current topics. The TC recommends to use the offer of UCTE/EURELECTRIC for special discussions. 

In the exchange of experiences the participants reported about damages and projects with wide importance.
