As part of the project, Enercon turbines at WindVision's 82.5MW Estinnes wind farm in Belgium contributed for about two months to the delivery of secondary control power to the Belgian grid, continuously changing the active power output of the turbines according to a set-point defined by Elia.
"The participation of wind farms in the reserves market will certainly enhance the position of wind generation in the generation mix and stimulate the dynamics for further innovation," says WindVision chief executive Stephan Moelans.
