Static Reserve

09/07/2008 1:32 PM

Hello

Could some one please tell me if static reserve is the same as non spinning reserve with regard to generation in power stations, as I can't find any information on static reserve.

Thanks in advance

Non spinning reserve is stand by plant ready to come on line at short notice, eg: gas turbines and hydro stations. A system is not only a distribution of power but also voltage control. Transmission lines have a capacitive effect and the load is usually reactive. So on loss of a unit, power is restored with spinning reserve and voltage is controlled with static reserve, capacitor banks or selective area isolation by tripping etc. I think this is the answer others my need to correct it?

Would this factor be applicable to a Wind Turbine? Are you discussing AC or DC? How is Voltage controlled? What is your take on the best way to store energy in a Wind Turbine Application?
