This project involves the construction, installation and operation of 5 REpower System MM92 series wind turbines, each rated at 2MW, for a total installed capacity of 10MW. The generated power will be transmitted from the island to the mainland, where it will then be used to power approximately 4,000 homes! This case study will analyse and determine the feasibility of different aspects related to the development, construction and operation phases of the Simcoe wind farm. 2.0 WIND FARM DEVELOPMENT PHASE 2.1 WIND ASSESSMENT AND LOCATION The location of the wind farm was chosen to be in an area near a big city where wind speeds are above 4m/s. The city chosen was Kingston Ontario, with a population of 160 000 people. Kingston is also located on Lake Ontario, at a 44.23 latitude and -76.48 longitude. Plugging these values into the Canadian Wind Energy Atlas, we obtain the information on wind speeds and energy displayed in Figure 2 [1]. Thus, the annual average wind speed is approximately 7.46m/s which is sufficient for a wind farm. The mean wind energy will be approximately 414.50 W/m2. Figure 1: Wind speeds Figure 2: Mean wind and energy for Kingston, Ontario 2.2 WIND FARM DESIGN Doing research on areas surrounding Kingston, I decided to place my wind farm on a nearby island, called Simcoe Island as seem in Figure3. This is a small island in Lake Ontario which is almost all farmland. The island is located near Wolfe Island, which is home to Canada's second largest wind farm. This is convenient because it will allow the Simcoe wind farm to have access to distribution stations and grid connections. The nearby transmission and distribution stations owned by Hydro One are displayed in Figure 4. From the Hydro One website, I was also Figure 3: Simcoe Island 3 Figure 4: TS and DS owned by Hydro One able to find information on distribution stations and available capacities. A list of the Gardiner distribution stations located near Kingston can be found in Figure5 [2]. There are two Gardiner Distribution stations, with a total of 5 feeder connections. In order to connect to one of these feeders, the thermal capacity of the DS, which is the estimated amount of generation that can be connected to a bus before exceeding the reverse flow limits of the transformer must be above 10MW. Unfortunately, we see that this is not the case. After summing the two Gardiner DS, we obtain a thermal capacity of 3.4MW + 3.5MW = 6.9MW, which is insufficient. Thus, for this case study it will be assumed that there is sufficient capacity for my 10MW wind farm to connect to the DS. Figure 5: Gardiner Distribution Stations 2.3 WIND TURBINE SELECTION I decided to purchase my wind turbines from REpower Systems SE, a Suzlon group company located in Hamburg, Germany.I decided to choose the MM92 wind turbine model, which is a 3-blade HAWT wind turbine. The specifications are listed in the table below [3]. It is important to note that the Rated power of this wind turbine is actually 2.05 MW but since the wind farm capacity for this project is 10MW, I will round off the rated power to 2MW rather than 2.05MW, thus having a total wind farm capacity of 10MW.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES Individually adjustable blades (electrically controlled) - fail-safe system Extensive redundant temperature and speed sensing system Fully integrated lightning protection Shielded cables and power rails protecting people and machinery Rotor holding brake with soft-brake function The corresponding power curve is displayed in Figure 6.. 2.3.1 CATEGORY OF WIND TURBINE The generator used in the REpower MM92 wind turbine is a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG), which means this is a Type 3 wind turbine, corresponding to variable speed with partial power electronics conversion. An example of a doubly- fed induction generator is shown below: Figure 6: MM92 Power curvce 5 Although the introduction of power electronics will result in the presence of harmonics, there are certain advantages that come with a DFIG, including the following [4]: Reasons for choosing DFIG Operation at variable rotor speeds. Optimization of the amount of power generated depending on wind. Control of the power factor. Generation

  • A Stakeholder Analysis of Investments for Wind Power Electricity Generation in Ontario
    Queen's Economics Department Working Paper No. 1442 A stakeholder analysis of investments for wind power electricity generation in Ontario Pejman Bahramian Department of Economics, Queen's University Glenn Jenkins Frank Milne Queen's University Department of Economics Queen's University 94 University Avenue Kingston, Ontario, Canada K7L 3N6 10-2020 A stakeholder analysis of investments for wind power electricity generation in Ontario ∗ Pejman Bahramian Glenn P. Jenkins Frank Milne † October 2020 ‡ § Abstract This study uses an ex-post evaluation of the grid-connected wind projects in Ontario, Canada, to quantify the stakeholder impacts of such renewable energy projects. Our study includes a financial, economic and stakeholder analysis of these wind farms. The analysis sheds light on the distributional impacts that arise when there is a significant gap between the incentives created by the financial price paid for electricity generation and the economic value of the electricity generated. The analysis shows that the nego- tiated power purchase agreements (PPAs) have resulted in a negative outcome for the economy in all circumstances. It is found that the present value of the economic costs is at least three times the present value of the economic benefits, including the global benefits from the reduced CO2 emissions. This loss is borne by all the stakeholders of the electricity system, except the private owners of the wind farms. The losers are pri- marily the electricity consumers followed by the governments. The Ontario Electricity Rebate (OER) programme, which is financed by increased government borrowing, has the effect of transferring a large share of the costs incurred to promote investments in wind power to future generations of taxpayers in Ontario.

This risk is quantified as expected energy not served (EENS) and computed via an error distribution found for each hourly forecast. This thesis produces an accurate method of estimating EENS that is also suitable for real-time OPF calculation. This thesis examines two statistical predictive models used to forecast hourly production of wind energy generators (WEGs), Markov chain model, and auto-regressive moving-average (ARMA) model, and their effects on EENS.
