Optimisation of Cable Cross in Medium Voltage Networks of a Wind Farm

Abstract

The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of the selection of optimal cable dimensions and internal voltage for a wind farm grid. The analysis was performed for rated grid voltages, 15 kV and 20 kV. It related to the merits of the farm’s MV grid optimisation. The objective function of the calculation algorithm takes into account the energy losses in cable lines of the farm’s MV grid, and the cable lines’ cost.
