Investigate alternative interconnection strategies for arrays of wind-turbine generators. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5979501
One of the principal methods of interconnecting future wind-turbine units to utility systems is expected to be in large megawatt (MW)-scale arrays, connected to the utility transmission, subtransmission, or distribution (T and D) network at a common point, and operated together as any other MW-scale utility-generation plant. There are many potential alternative wind-turbine (WT) array/utility-system interconnection strategies. The purpose of this project was first to develop an appropriate methodology for assessing the relative cost, value, and reliability of alternative WT-array interconnection plans; and second, to perform an initial assessment of a matrix of cases to demonstrate the T and D assessment methodology, as well as gain insights as to potential cost, value, and reliability for array-interconnection plans for a range of wind-turbine sizes and types from a T and D perspective.
