Wind energy generation systems - Part 26-1: Availability for wind energy generation systems (IEC 61400-26-1:2019)

This part of IEC 61400 defines an information model from which time-based, and productionbased
availability indicators for services can be derived and reported.
The purpose is to provide standardised metrics that can be used to create and organise
methods for availability calculation and reporting according to the user’s needs.
The document provides information categories, which unambiguously describe how data is
used to characterise and categorise the operation. The information model specifies category
priority for discrimination between possible concurrent categories. Further, the model defines
entry and exit criteria to allocate fractions of time and production values to the proper
information category. A full overview of all information categories, exit and entry criteria is
given in Annex A, see Figure A.1.
The document can be applied to any number of WTGSs, whether represented by an individual
turbine, a fleet of wind turbines, a wind power station or a portfolio of wind power stations. A
wind power station is typically made up of all WTGSs, functional services and balance of plant
elements as seen from the point of common coupling.
Examples are provided in informative annexes which provide guidelines for calculation of
availability indicators:
• examples of optional information categories, Annex B;
• examples of application of the information categories for determination of availability,
Annex C;
• examples of application scenarios, Annex D;
• examples on methods for determination of potential production, Annex E;
• examples of how to expand the model to balance of plant elements, Annex F.
This document does not prescribe how availability indicators shall be calculated. The standard
does not specify the method of information acquisition, how to estimate the production terms
or to form the basis for power curve performance measurements – which is the objective of
IEC 61400-12.
A degree of uncertainty is inherent in both the measurement of a power curve and the
calculation of potential energy production. The stakeholders should agree upon acceptable
uncertainty parameters.

Systèmes de génération d'énergie éolienne - Partie 26-1: Disponibilité des systèmes de génération d'énergie éolienne (IEC 61400-26-1:2019)

l'IEC 61400-26-1:2019 définit un modèle d'informations à partir duquel peuvent être déduits et consignés les indicateurs de disponibilité temporelle et en production des services.
Il s'agit de fournir des mesures normalisées pouvant être utilisées pour créer et organiser des méthodes de calcul et de déclaration de la disponibilité en fonction des besoins de l'utilisateur.
Le présent document fournit des catégories d'informations, qui décrivent clairement la manière dont les données sont utilisées pour caractériser et catégoriser le fonctionnement. Le modèle d'informations spécifie une priorité de catégorie permettant de distinguer les différentes catégories concurrentes possibles. En outre, le modèle définit les critères d'entrée et de sortie permettant d'attribuer des fractions de temps et des valeurs de production à la catégorie d'informations adéquate. Une vue d'ensemble de toutes les catégories d'informations, des critères d'entrée et des critères de sortie est fournie à l'annexe.
Le présent document peut être appliqué à un certain nombre d'aérogénérateurs (éolienne individuelle, parc d'éoliennes, centrale éolienne ou ensemble de centrales éoliennes). Une centrale éolienne est généralement composée de l'ensemble des aérogénérateurs, services fonctionnels et éléments d'installation de production d'énergie, considérés par rapport au point de couplage commun (PCC).
Cette première édition annule et remplace l'IEC TS 61400-26-1:2011, l'IEC TS 61400-26-2:2014 and l'IEC TS 61400-26-3:2016.

Sistemi za proizvodnjo energije na veter - 26-1. del: Razpoložljivost sistemov za proizvodnjo energije na veter (IEC 61400-26-1:2019)

Ta del standarda IEC 61400 določa informacijski model, iz katerega je mogoče izpeljati časovne
in proizvodne kazalnike razpoložljivosti storitev ter o njih poročati.
Namen je zagotoviti standardizirane metrike, ki jih je mogoče uporabiti za ustvarjanje in urejanje metod za izračun razpoložljivosti ter poročanje glede na potrebe uporabnika.
Dokument vsebuje kategorije informacij, ki nedvoumno opisujejo, kako se podatki uporabljajo za karakterizacijo in kategorizacijo delovanja. Model informacij določa prednostne kategorije za razlikovanje med možnimi sočasnimi kategorijami. Nadalje model definira vstopna in izstopna merila za dodeljevanje časovnih ter proizvodnih vrednosti ustrezni kategoriji informacij. Popoln pregled vseh kategorij informacij, izhodnih in vstopnih meril je podan v dodatku A, glej sliko A.1.
Dokument je mogoče uporabiti za poljubno število proizvodnih sistemov vetrnih elektrarn ne glede na to, ali jih predstavlja posamezna turbina, serija vetrnih turbin, vetrna elektrarna ali nabor vetrnih elektrarn. Vetrna elektrarna je običajno sestavljena iz vseh proizvodnih sistemov vetrnih elektrarn, funkcionalnih storitev in ravnovesja elementov elektrarne, kot je razvidno iz skupne priključne točke.
Primeri so navedeni v informativnih dodatkih, v katerih so smernice za izračun kazalnikov razpoložljivosti:
• primeri izbirnih kategorij informacij, dodatek B;
• primeri uporabe kategorij informacij za določanje razpoložljivosti, dodatek C;
• primeri scenarijev uporabe, dodatek D;
• primeri metod za določanje potencialne proizvodnje, dodatek E;
• primeri, kako razširiti model na ravnovesje elementov elektrarne, dodatek F.
Ta dokument ne predpisuje načina izračunavanja kazalnikov razpoložljivosti. Standard ne določa načina pridobivanja informacij, kako oceniti proizvodne pogoje ali oblikovati podlago za meritve zmogljivosti krivulje moči – kar je cilj standarda IEC 61400-12.
Stopnja negotovosti je značilna tako za merjenje krivulje moči kot tudi za izračun potencialne proizvodnje energije. Zainteresirane strani naj bi se dogovorile o sprejemljivih parametrih negotovosti.
