Study of data transfer from wind farm substation to SLDC & case study

Abstract

The Large scale development of wind farm brings complexity in the electrical grid because it is intermittent in nature. Traditionally, the grid operators are habituated of maintaining the supply with respect to the demand and balancing the grid. For handling the complexity of wind farm integration to the grid communication system technology is need to be focused that enables the accommodation of wind energy generation along with monitoring, operating, and protecting the grid. In this paper, communication technology are reviewed. One of the potential area of further improvement in real time data transmission system undertaking with real time example. The present communication system provides its benefit to the data transfer in SLDC and some of the utility side such as GETCO are reviewed. Finally, the outline the cost analysis and possible solution for wind farm communication system development.
