Reactive Compensation Research of HVAC Cables for Offshore Wind Farms

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper proposes a reactive compensation optimization method for HVAC cables of offshore wind farms, establishing the optimization model of reactive compensation capacity of HVAC submarine cables with cable current-carrying capacity as the main constraints. The maximum transmission power and transmission distance of HVAC submarine cables are calculated, considering the constraints including power factor, line loss and reactive compensation cost. Using minimum average annual cost as the objective function compensation capacity of both cable ends and corresponding average annual cost is obtained are optimized.
