Hello everyone,
I have three questions about connecting onshore wind farms to substations:
1) I know, that larger onshore wind farms are connected to higher voltage levels (110 kV or 132 kV). But which voltage level would I choose, if I only have one wind turbine? does a rule of thumb exist depending of the wind turbine / farms capacity (MW)? A reference to cite would also be nice.
2) I have a wind farm which is already connected to a substation. Another wind farm is newly built and is nearer to the first wind farm than to the substation. Is it also possible to connect the wind farms, instead of the connecting line to the substation?
3) Do you have references for costs to connect wind farms to substations for UK? For example costs per km.
Thank you very much!
Jann

1. Compare to 110 KV, 132 KV(50Hz) end equipments cost would be same or less, and could be used with future expansion of wind farm, there is no thumb rule for selection of voltage level, main is availability and cost.
2. Yes, if line cepecity permits, you can use same line by interconnecting the wind farms.
3. End equipments (transformers, circuit brakers etc switch gears) cost the main, compare to line length, hence cost per km is not advisable....
Hi Mr. Jann Michael Weinand ! I am studying a model of a wind power system with a capacity of 2 MW. The system is as shown and simulated on Matlab simulink software. Currently, my model is making a connection error between the PMSG generator connected to the control rectifier by ignoring the pre-calculated background load R for the 2MW power system. But when the load R is removed, the system cannot take the current and voltage signals after the PMSG generator to control it. I hope you can help with my research. I sincerely thank you very much.
