Wind Farm Collector System Research

Abstract:

As environment problem becomes increasingly prominent and energy supply becomes more and more tension, wind power as a kind of clean and renewable energy is more and more popular. The installation of large scale wind farms has been paid much attention. Collector system consolidates the power generated by turbine units to a substation from where the generated power is transmitted to the power system. Where designing a wind farm collector system, the economics and reliability of operation should be taken consideration. This paper introduces the concept and some typical layouts of the wind farm collector system, then take comparison of those layout around the economics and reliability, this may help to choose an appropriate cable layout when building a new wind farm.
