Method for estimating power loss in renewable power plants
The patent US12071934B2 outlines a method and system for determining performance parameters in a balance of plant estimator for renewable power plants, specifically those with multiple power generating units. The method involves providing pairs of associated power values across different power ranges, calculating representative values from these pairs, and using them to derive performance parameters for an estimated power loss algorithm. The system is designed to generate an estimated power loss and adjust the operation of power generating units when discrepancies between estimated and measured power losses exceed a defined threshold. This process aims to enhance the efficiency and reliability of power plant operations.
Additionally, the patent describes a power plant controller equipped with a sensor arrangement to gather the necessary power values and a processor to perform the calculations. The controller can handle multiple pairs of power values and is capable of deleting these values after performance parameters are calculated. The method also includes provisions for comparing performance parameters from different power ranges and applying them to the estimator when deviations are minimal. The technology is particularly applicable to wind power plants, emphasizing its relevance in the renewable energy sector. Overall, the patent presents a structured approach to optimizing power loss estimations, which is crucial for improving the operational efficiency of renewable energy systems.
