The Wind-Hydro-Pumped-Power Stationof El Hierro Island
The wind Farm: 5 windmills turbines
The five windmills turbines, with 2.3 MW each, have a capacity of 11.5 megawatts with a rotor of
three blades located up 64 meters high
Gorona Del Viento The Wind-Hydro-Pumped-Power Station
of El Hierro Island
Electricity comes from wind power
and pumped hydro storage: the wind power will be used
to keep the pumped hydro reservoirs full, allowing the hydro plant to function as a baseload and load-following generation
source
The wind Farm: 5 wind windmills turbines
Five windmills on the northeastern end of the island will power a pumping station
that, when the wind is blowing, will drive water 2,300 feet uphill, from a small, 5
million-cubic-foot (150,000-cu-m) reservoir down by the shore to a larger, 19 million-
cubic-foot (550,000-cu-m) reservoir snuggled into one of the island’s volcanic
craters.
The wind Farm: 5 wind windmills turbines
When the wind abates, water from the top depository will be released, along 1.8 miles (3 km)
of mostly camouflaged pipes, into the bottom one, and the
pressure of that falling water will drive six hydraulic turbines.
The superior deposit ,La Caldera is located in an inactive volcanic crater, with
380.000m3, 700m high, which is interconnected with a lower reservoir from the penstocks: two pipes of 3 kilometers long
The penstocks for the pumped-storage plant on El Hierro
carry water to and from the turbines and pumps.
The capability of the 1.5 MW pumps to regulate the power consumed through frequency regulators up to 500 kW each or
wind turbine-generator frequency regulation capability.
The inferior deposit has 150.000 cubic meters and is located near the thermal plant of Llanos Blancos .
The inferior deposit is lined with a high-density polyethylene
geomembrane for waterproofing reservoir and the hydro plant
The hydroelectric Subastation with 4 hydroelectric turbines with speed governors and flywheels
that enable a reaction time of less than 6 seconds.
The total power of the generator groups , with
11.3 mw.a central pump is
constituted by two pumps groups 1,500 kW and 6 kW pumps 500 groups with a
total power of 6 MW. The Pumping Plant
2x1.500 kw+ 6x 500kwshares the building with
the control center operation of the entire hydro-wind power plant
Hydroelectric Subastation,
Thermal Power PlantThe Diesel storage tanks in Llanos Blancos only used when there insn't enough wind or water produce the
demanding energy for the population. The energy which is not consumed is sent pumped up to superior deposit
The hydro-wind power plant
It is achieved transform an intermittent power source into a controlled and
constant electricity supply, maximizing the use of wind energy. Thus, the power station operates as a reserve to support
only during periods of no wind, minimizing the consumption of fossil
fuels.
