Abstract:
The article presents the results of many years’ experience of industrial operation of
wind power plants (WPPs) of the Ochakiv Wind Park. In the course of the research a
parametric model of WPP performance was developed; factors influencing the performance of
wind power plants in Ukraine were analysed; modern methods of economic and mathematical
modelling were studied and appropriate ones were selected to assess the efficiency of WPP
operation in wind conditions of the Northern Black Sea region of Ukraine; an algorithm for
solving the problem of efficient operation of WPPs in Ukraine has been developed; grounding
on six years’ studies of results of the Ochakiv WPP operation in Ukraine unique databases have
been created; a model of correlation between the capacity of wind power plant (WPP) FL
2500-100 and wind speed in the Northern Black Sea region of Ukraine was developed; the
obtained results were interpreted and conclusions were made based on the parametric model of
WPP performance taking into account the specific external factors of the Northern Black Sea
region of Ukraine.
