Performance Evaluation of Off-Shore Wind Farms with Fractional Frequency

Abstract

Wind energy has become most promising renewable energy sources in the world. Where wind power producing from offshore is more advantages than producing wind power from onshore. Therefore many researchers have worked on offshore wind farm to improve its generation capacity as well as transmission capacity. The detail investigation of technical parameters of transmission line 50Hz. Performance of transmission line at 50Hz and 50/3Hz frequencies is evaluated in terms of voltage, current, efficiency, reactive power loss, voltage regulation, transmission capacity and transferrable length. Transmission line of 100 km length operating at 150 kV is considered in this analysis. Technical parameters are obtained using Newton Raphson method at 50 Hz and 50/3 Hz frequencies. Coding is written in MATLAB. Comparison of technical parameters in performed.
