What is Performance evaluation of Jepirachi Wind Park about?

This paper presents some technical details, operational experiences, and lessons learnt by the Colombian public utility -Empresas Pu ́blicas de Medellı ́n -with a recently installed 19.5 MW wind park in the northern region of Colombia -province of La Guajira. This is the first ever wind park feeding to the electricity network in Colombia. The Jepirachi Wind Park was commissioned in April 2004 and it has to date accumulated nearly 180,000 h of operation. During that time 15 NORDEX N60/1.3 MW turbines have fed electricity to the Colombian main electricity grid. This work describes the park layout, including meteorological stations installed in the surroundings and the wind regime prevailing in the zone. Details are also given about remote monitoring of the Wind Park and individual turbines, through the Supervisory, Control and Data Acquisition system (SCADA Nordex Control 2). Since July 2004, Empresas Pu ́blicas de Medellı ́n (EEPPM) and Universidad de Los Andes-Bogota ́, Colombia have been working together in a wind park performance monitoring programme. This has permitted both institutions to learn more rapidly matters relating to evaluation, planning and operation of wind par
