Zubiaga M., Abad G., Barrena J.A., Aurtenetxea S., Carcar A. (Eds.) Energy Transmission and Grid Integration of AC Offshore Wind Farms

InTech, 2012, 248 pages, ISBN: 9535103684 9789535103684This book analyses the key issues of the offshore wind farm's energy transmission and grid integration infrastructure. But, for this purpose, there are not evaluated all the electric configurations. In the present book is deeply evaluated a representative case. This representative case is built starting from three generic characteristics of an offshore wind farm: the rated power, the distance to shore and the average wind speed of the location.This book analyses the offshore wind farm’s electric connection infrastructure, thereby contributing to this open discussion. So, a methodology has been developed to select the proper layout for an offshore wind farm for each case.AbstractWind Energy
