Analysis of grid-connected operation characteristics and limit access capacity of offshore wind farms

Abstract

Wind power is a relatively ripe renewable energy power generation technology, which has the superiority of large-scale development and utilization. Large-scale deep-sea wind farms are a significant direction for wind power development. With the continuous growth of the capacity of a single offshore wind farm, it is necessary to study the impact of grid connection of large-capacity offshore wind farms on the normal operation of the power grid, which can guarantee the safety and stability of the power grid. Based on the smooth working of the power system, it is meaningful to determining the limit access capacity of offshore wind farms for guiding offshore wind power planning. In this paper, an evaluation index system for the operation characteristics of offshore wind farms integrated into regional power grids is constructed, and based on that, the influence of offshore wind farms on the safety, stability, economy and power quality of regional power system operation is studied, and the grid-connected power limit of offshore wind farms is further calculated.
