Investigating the impact of a dynamic thermal rating on wind farm integration

With an increased focus on renewable power generation, dynamic thermal ratings of various equipment are being investigated to connect the new intermittent generation grid without needing replace existing infrastructure. Previous research is mainly focused a rating for overhead lines. End-of-line also restricted by limit. This paper combines model lines with transformer model, investigate impact environmental conditions both. A wind farm case study used determine potential increase in capacity using combined model. The higher limit loss life compared amount curtailed and revenue from added farm. analysis serves provide method analyse risks limit, benefits penetration additional revenue.
