In 2018, one of Europe’s largest onshore wind integration projects took shape in Markbygden, Sweden. With a planned capacity of 915 MW and close to 300 turbines from both GE and Enercon, the project was set to play a key role in strengthening Sweden’s renewable energy supply. But scale came with complexity.
Coordinating turbines from different manufacturers into a single power plant controller (PPC) demanded a flexible solution. On top of that, the project included a 400 kV substation and two separate measurement points at 150 kV, adding another layer of technical challenge.
To overcome this, we implemented the OneView® Hybrid Control Unit. The master power plant controller unified the turbines under one control platform and integrated the substation interface, ensuring seamless operation from day one.
Expertise in wind integration from various OEMs
With the integration of the OneView® Hybrid Control Unit, the result was a smarter, more flexible plant:
Unified control
The customer gained centralized control that maximizes the available grid capacity.
Seamless grid alignment
The plant now has access to advanced curtailment options that allow smooth alignment with grid requirements.
Scalability
The setup is fully scalable, making it ready to expand as the project grows.
With these capabilities, the project demonstrates how intelligent control and flawless wind integration can unlock the full potential of large-scale renewable energy.
