Abstract

This paper presents the simulation results of a large-scale offshore wind farm (OWF) connected to the point of common coupling (PCC) of Taiwan Power System using a commercial power-system simulation software. The ultra-high-voltage buses of an onshore substation in Changhua near the potential OWF are properly selected as the connection points. The voltage variations and power factors at the PCC under different lengths of submarine cable and various OWF capacities are simulated and analyzed when the studied OWF is connected to the selected buses. The simulated results can offer a reference for the development of large-scale OWFs in Taiwan in the near future.
