HVDC Light for connection of wind farms
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is an increasing amount of wind farms that need to be connected to the AC transmission network. Offshore wind farms will be connected to the ac system via long submarine cables. Integration of offshore wind farms with HVDC transmission based on Voltage Source Converters (VSC), such as HVDC Light, is an advantage due to regulating properties of HVDC Light. The purpose with the Tjæreborg project was to demonstrate on a small scale the application of this new technology for connection of large-scale offshore wind farms. The project was realized on the existing wind farm at Tjæreborg close to Esbjerg on the west coast of Denmark. It was released and started in March 1999 and was taken over for tests and demonstration in December 2000.
