More Information
Summary:A windfarm system 200 is provided that is optimized for minimizing electrical loss. The windfarm system 200 includes a plurality of wind turbine generators 201, 202, 203 and a collector system 205 including a conductor or network of conductors 215, 216, 217. The collector system 205 also including a plurality of transformers 210, 211, 212 with one or more transformers connected between each wind turbine generator and the conductors, and a substation transformer 224 connecting the windfarm collector system 205 to the electrical grid. The windfarm system 200 also includes a monitoring system 232 for monitoring the windfarm system electrical output 245 and thermal condition, and outputs 207, 208, 209 of the individual wind turbine generators. A control function 250 may include voltage and real and reactive power commands 251, 252, 253 to the individual wind turbine generators. The control function 250 incorporates an algorithm 220 whose technical effect is minimizing electrical losses for the windfarm system 200.
