With the rapid development of wind power industry, the requirements of Low Voltage Run Through (LVRT) capability and the test technology become increasingly important. In order to learn from German advanced technology of wind turbine, with the support of German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety (BMU), German Techincal Coopertion (GTZ), China Electric Power Research Institute (CEPRI), project "Sino-German Wind Environment Research and Training-Center" (WERT-Center) will hold a workshop named “Ensuring Grid Stability and Grid Management - LVRT Requirements and Wind Turbine Testing”, a platform for thoroughly discussing the requirements of LVRT and the related test technology of wind turbine.

 

The workshop will be a combination of report and discussion, lasting one day and a half. The workshop invites world famous expert, Prof. Armin Schnettler, who has long experience in testing of LVRT, and his workmates Dr. Karl-Heinz Weck，Mr. Thomas Smolka and Mr. Bernhard Schowe-von der Brelie.
 
The workshop provides English translation services, and warmly welcomes power grid corporations, wind power developers, wind power turbine manufacturers etc.
 
The introduction of the main content of the workshop:
1.       The comparison of requirements for LVRT in Grid Codes of different nations.
2.       Integrated development of wind turbines-to comply the requirements for LVRT in Grid Codes
3.       Testing procedure of LVRT capability of wind turbines in field tests.
4.       Testing technology of LVRT capability for wind farms.
5.       Protection equipment and protection methods of the mobile LVRT test laboratory.
6.       Certification schemes for LVRT capability for single wind turbine and wind farms.

Annex2: Introduction of foreign experts
 
1. Short introduction of Professor Armin Schnettler
Professor Schnettler received Doctoral Degree in electrical engineering at the University of Dortmund, Germany. Today he is the Director of the Institute of High Voltage Technology at RWTH Aachen University, the Managing Director of the Research Association for Power Systems and Power Economics, and also a member of IEC, IEEE, VDE, and other national/international organizations.
Professor Schnettler’s main research areas are insulation systems & diagnosis, high voltage equipment & substations, and sustainable power systems. Now he is highly engaged in the domain of grid integration of renewable energy sources, especially in terms of wind power. He is reviewer to the German Energy Agency in terms of the national studies on the required power grid expansion with regard to rapidly growing wind power capacities. He also serves as the director of FGH Test System GmbH, which is providing mobile test laboratories for LVRT measurements.
 
2. Short introduction of Dr. Karl-Heinz Weck
Dr. Weck received Doctor Degree in electrotechnical engineering at the Technical University of Darmstadt. Since 1971, he serves in the Research Association for Power Systems and Power Economics.
Since 1989, Dr. Weck is active in the field of wind power connection to the electrical grid. He is the member of the task force of establishment and elaboration grid codes for the connection of wind power. He developed the LVRT test equipment to simulate voltage drops, and carried out the first LVRT test in 2003.
