Live Simulation with Wind Power

Wind Industry Profile of

The transmission system operators 50Hertz and Energinet as well as the coal-fired power plant Rostock successfully performed a live simulation of a restart of the power grid after a power outage in Continental Europe with voltage supplied from Denmark. For the first time, a land and sea cable connection between two countries as well as offshore wind power were used in real conditions to restart a power plant.

The Combined Grid Solution (CGS), the recently inaugurated interconnector between Germany and Denmark, was used as a 'starting aid' to fire up the power plants turbines. To achieve this, the Rostock power plant was initially first completely separated from the German power grid. Subsequently, the Danish system operator Energinet provided the required 380-kV voltage... ... More: Official Press Release 50Hertz
