Offshore Wind Turbines & onshore power supply in Parallel.
Offshore Wind Turbines & onshore power supply in Parallel.
(OP)
I have just joined a new project and need some guidance.
I have 33kv AC 50hz 3 phase sub sea feeder supply cable 25km from shore base sub station feeding a common 33kv switchboard with no bus coupler on an oil rig.
Also connecting to this same switchboad is two 5MW wind turbines via one 33KV sub sea cable. I note on the schematics there is no syncronization facilities or relays and remember no bus coupler anyway?
Can anyone give some assistance on this. I am sure its something to do with the asynchronous induction motor on the wind turbines.?? maybe not?
Thanks

Thanks for the info.
I have got some info from the web on this subject, but I am still looking for a good book to get my head round this topic.
Cheers
