Offshore Windfarm Design Optimization Using Dynamic Rating for Transmission Components

The foreseen development of large-scale Offshore Windfarms (OWFs) further from the shore dictates that the OWF transmission system must be optimally designed based on Dynamic Thermal Rating (DTR) in order to fully utilize the intermittent nature of the wind and to keep the offshore wind cost-competitive. In this paper, a comprehensive, DTR-based, two-stage stochastic model is presented, which has ...
