Studies on integration of different capacity offshore wind farms in power grid

Studies on integration of different capacity offshore wind farms in power grid This work is in continuation of our earlier pre-feasibility study that was carried out to investigate the prospects of constructing an offshore wind farm in the coastal region of south India. After selection of the suitable site and optimal wind turbine, another challenge was to penetrate wind energy in the grid. The present study aims to select an economical and technically feasible connection point in the test grid for wind farm integration. For each of the seven available connection points, load flow analysis was done using MATLAB, to assess how grid reacts to the power produced by different capacity wind farms. Results of the present study suggest that the offshore wind farms consisting of 10 to 23 turbines (RE power 6.2M), may be connected at grid point C, where the voltage level after penetration of wind farm was found to be within the acceptable range. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Wind Engineering SAGE

Abstract

This work is in continuation of our earlier pre-feasibility study that was carried out to investigate the prospects of constructing an offshore wind farm in the coastal region of south India. After selection of the suitable site and optimal wind turbine, another challenge was to penetrate wind energy in the grid. The present study aims to select an economical and technically feasible connection point in the test grid for wind farm integration. For each of the seven available connection points, load flow analysis was done using MATLAB, to assess how grid reacts to the power produced by different capacity wind farms. Results of the present study suggest that the offshore wind farms consisting of 10 to 23 turbines (RE power 6.2M), may be connected at grid point C, where the voltage level after penetration of wind farm was found to be within the acceptable range.
