2010-03 Transients in Large Offshore Wind Power Plants. Components Selection, Design, Modelling and Grid Interaction
June 7-9, 2012

Objectives

   The objective of this course is to give the participants a platform for the exchange of scientific and technical information related to components selection, design and modelling of electromagnetic transients in the collection and export power system of large offshore wind farms.
In this course the following topics will be addressed:

- Switching transients
- Insulation coordination
- High voltage cables
- Power transformers
- Circuit breakers
- Wind turbines
- Protection systems
- Mitigation methods
- Offshore substation
- Electrical transient interaction

Large offshore wind farms are based on extensive MV submarine cable collection networks connecting hundreds of identical WTs, placed in regular patterns with certain interspacing. Each WT is connected to the MV network through a step-up transformer and switchgear. The collection grid is connected to a transformer station which in large wind farms is usually also placed offshore at which the voltage is raised to high voltage for transmission via a submarine export cable to a connection point in the public power grid on land up to more than hundred kilometres from the offshore wind farm.

Such arrangements are unusual as compared to a typical expansion of a power system in several ways such as: the lateral sizes of the systems, the large number of identical sub systems: generators, power converters, transformers, and switchgears in the wind turbines and collection network; and also unusual compared to other power system´s operating conditions and environmental constrains.

Regarding the modelling of MV and HV equipment for electromagnetic transient simulation studies, there is fair amount of information and guidelines available in the literature about circuit breakers, transformers, cables, surge arrestors etc.; this however tend to be mainly theoretical information, and in practice the information about these components is typically not available in sufficient detail for accurate insulation coordination studies . Furthermore, commercial simulation

tools tend either to have limited facilities for this type of studies or require very specialized training and experience. In short, the credibility of this type of studies relies on the quality of the models and information that the user can get hold of, and even then, it depends on the simulation tools and the user’s skills. This creates additional concern and further work is necessary to design the collection grid of wind farm with the high reliability, needed for offshore wind farms

 

Coordinators

Assist. Prof. Rodrigo Garcia (rgv@lektro.dtu.dk)

Rodrigo Garcia was born in Mexico. He received the electrical engineering degree from the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico, in 2001, the M.Sc. degree from CINVESTAV, Mexico, in 2003 and obtained his Ph.D. degree from the University of Glasgow, U.K., in 2007. In 2008, he was granted with the Hans Christened Ørsted Award at the Centre for Electric Technology(CET) by the Technical University of Denmark to carry out postdoctoral research activities. Since 2009 he holds the position as Assistant Professor. His research interests are dynamics, stability and control of electric power systems; renewable energy integration; and modelling and simulation of FACTS and custom power controllers. He is an IEEE, IET and CIGRE member.
