Intertek provides Wind Turbine Certification services for safety, project management, performance and more.
The CF20 is designed for grid-connected power delivery, with a manufacturer’s declared rated power output of 20 kW. The CF20 is an upwind turbine with active speed and power control through active blade pitch actuation and turbine yaw control. The CF20 has a three phase permanent magnet variable-speed generator; the output of which is fully converted in the grid-tie inverter. Inverter output configurations can vary according to the electrical network the turbine is connected to, and can accommodate single or three phase, 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The electrical network at the testing location is three-phase 230 VAC at 50 Hz, but the output configuration of the CF20 tested in Ballyspellan was single phase 230 VAC at 50 Hz. Normal electrical network operating voltage and frequency ranges are 207 – 253 V and 49.8 to 50.2 Hz, respectively.
This testing was conducted as part of the full MCS Certification test program for the C&F Green Energy CF20 horizontalaxis wind turbine. The CF20 was installed at the C&F Green Energy testing location in Ballyspellan, Ireland, and was tested alongside three other C&F Green Energy turbines; the CF6, CF11, and CF15.
