Comparative Analysis of HVAC, HVDC and Hybrid HVAC-HVDC Transmission System Based Offshore Wind Farm

Article Preview

Abstract:

Taiwan is developing the renewable energy actively, in which the wind energy is seen as one of important resources. However, the suitable locations for wind farm constructions are less and less on the shore, and the trend of wind farm development in the future will toward to offshore where the installation capacity of the wind farm could reach hundreds of megawatts. As the installation capacity of the wind farm increases, the effects on the interconnected AC grid are also more notable. In this paper, the off-peak system in Taiwan is used as a studied system in which the Penghu area and Taiwan grid is connected by submarine cables. This study explores the wind farm transmission system including HVAC, HVDC, and hybrid HVAC-HVDC systems and compares the differences of their impact on the system.
