1 General information
The grid performance and characteristics of the ENERCON wind energy converter are
distributed on two document types.
The present wind energy converter-specific document includes the grid performance de-
pendent on wind energy converter type and electrical configuration.
In the corresponding applicable document independent of wind energy converter, the
functions and grid performance applicable for all wind energy converters and electrical
configurations are documented.

2 Characteristics
All characteristics of the wind energy converter refer to the reference point specified in
ch. 4, p. 11. The electrical properties can only be achieved with the corresponding con-
trol system.
An excerpt from the power quality measurements according to IEC 61400-21:2008 Ed. 2.0
is available upon request.

Alternatively, a project-specific setpoint can be set in the wind energy converter using a
superordinate control system in the wind farm so as to apply the illustrated reactive power
range.

Glossary of terms
Rated current Maximum continuous output current under normal operating con-
ditions for which an electrical system is designed.
Reactive power Electrical power that “commutes” between generators and con-
sumers in a grid. It puts load on the grid without actually being
used up. Reactive power is the result of phase shift between cur-
rent and voltage due to inductive and capacitive consumers (e.g.
electric motors) in a grid running with alternating or three-phase
current. For this reason, power stations must be able to provide
Text
and absorb reactive power in addition to active power.
