Descrição
Resumo:The best places to build a wind farm in land are in use, due to the spectacular growth of the wind power over the last decade. In this scenario offshore wind energy is a promising application of wind power, particularly in countries with high population density, and difficulties in finding suitable sites on land. On land wind farms have well-adjusted their features and the transmission system to each wind farm size and characteristic. But for offshore wind farms this is an open discussion. This report analyses the offshore wind farm’s electric connection infrastructure, thereby contributing to this open discussion. So, a methodology has been developed to select the proper layout for an offshore wind farm for each case. Subsequently a pre-design of the transmission system’s support equipment is developed to fulfill the grid code requirements.
