MAIN OBJECTIVE
OBJECTIVES
GRACIOSA ISLAND
The Graciosa island energy production is based on:
Wind (2x300 kW + 2x100 kW)
Diesel generators (3x600 kW + 3x810 kW)
Peak power around 2,2 MW
FLORES ISLAND
The Flores island energy production at the time was based on:
EXISTING SOLUTION
Dynamic energy accumulation (flywheels)
Kinetic energy storage systems
EXISTING SOLUTION
Main advantages:
High charge and discharge cycles, with variable time
intervals between them, compared to other energy storage
systems
Brings about a decrease in the instability in the grid induced
by wind energy production
Allows the penetration of renewables to increase maintaining
the quality supply on the grid (EN 50160)
EDA PROJECT
EDA Launched a Public tender in September, 2004
TECHNICAL DATA
This equipment used combines a low-speed flywheel (1800-3300 rpm)
with power electronic converters to provide a high-performance energy
storage device
