Figure 2.network diagram of Shanghai Nahui wind f
Overall, the connection method of Donghai Bridge wind
farm is similar to that of Shanghai Nanhui wind farm. The
operating experiences of Shanghai Nahnhui wind farm could be
used as a source of reference. However, they use difrent
voltage levels to access the grid, and the connection method
between the two are also not the same, therefore their impact on
the power system are also different.
First of all, the biggest difference between the two is that
the offshore wind farm must use a long submarine cable to
transport the power. As the long cable will generate a lot of
reactive power, so we must be aware and pay attention to this
feature.
Second, the power of Donghai Bridge wind farm is
4 20 I 0 China Interational Conference on Electricity Distribution
transferred directly into the II Okv busbar of a 220kv substation,
but the power of Shanghai Nanhui wind farm is transferred into
the 35kv busbar of a 35kv substation. As the voltage level
difference, the impact to the voltage fuctuations of distribution
network by Donghai Bridge wind farm is smaller than that by
Shanghai Nanhui wind farm.
6. Operation analysis of Shanghai Nanhui wind farm
Compared to Donghai Bridge offshore wind farm, the
installed capacity of Shanghai Nanhui wind farm is much
smaller, but its impact on the grid is an important reference for
the study of large-scale ofhore wind farm. Tn actual operation,
the Nanhui wind farm has almost no effect on power peaking
and frequency modulation, but it has played a signifcant role in
regional distribution network for power quality, especially
voltage fuctuation.
The voltage qualifcation rate of 35kv busbar in "DaZhi"
substation could be a good example. From January 1, 2009 to
May 31, 2009, in the fve months, a total of 8928 times voltage
had been collected, which qualifed 6969 times. The voltage
qualifcation rate was 78.06%. In the same period of time, the
voltage qualifcation rate of 35kv busbar in Shanghai East grid
was 95.23%. The voltage qualifcation rate of "DaZhi"
substation is far below the average level. We can see that
Shanghai Nanhui wind farm has a great impact on voltage
fuctuations in the regional distribution network.
Tn Shanghai, the typhoon will largely infuences the
operation of the wind farm. When typhoon comes, it is ofen
accompanied by wind up. At this time, the wind farm operates
as full power output mode. But as the wind continues to
increase over the fan cut-out wind speed, the wind farm would
stop all turbines within a short time. A sudden change of output
power could have a great impact on power grid such as voltage
fuctuations. Because of the smaller capacity, Nanhui wind farm
has not a great impact on power grid. But if all fans stop
simultaneously, it will reduce absorbing reactive power from
the grid, which cause the reactive power that generated by the
cable fed into "Dazhi" substation. Therefore the voltage at the
35kv busbar in "DaZhi" subtation is abnormally increased.
This picture depicts the voltage curve of 35kv busbar in
Shanghai Nanhui wind farm on Sept. 19,2007. (When Typhoon
"Wipha" strikes Shanghai) Under the infuence of the typhoon,
the voltage qualifcation rate was 48.78%. The voltage reached
even 38.86kv, seriously affected the voltage quality of regional
distribution network.

7. Operation analysis ofDonghai Bridge wind farm
As the Donghai Bridge wind farm has been put into
operation only a short time, it did not reach its maximum output.
It also hadn't withstood the test of severe weather such as
typhoons, so we can not verify it's impact on power system in
extreme conditions.
Under normal operating conditions, because the Donghai
Bridge ofhore wind farm has not yet reached its maximum
output, it had little impact on the power peaking and frequency
modulation. By reactive power management, since the Donghai
Bridge offshore wind farm is connected with II0kv bubar in
220kv substation, the short circuit ratio of the connection point
is much larger than that ofNanhui wind farm. The fuctuation in
reactive power is easier to compensate by the power grid and
therefore cause small voltage fuctuations in regional
distribution network.

8. Impact on power dispatching management
Based on land-based wind farms operating experience and
its own characteristics, the impact of large offshore wind farm
on power system is concentrated in the following two aspects:
8.1 Impact on reactive power management
Compared to the land-based wind farm, the ofshore wind
farm must use long submarine cables to transfer the power. This
would bring new problems to reactive power management. For
example: As the wind is very small, the wind turbine will be
stopped and the wind farm has a very small demand of reactive
power. The reactive power which generated by cable will fed
into the power grid, and it may lead the voltage in distribution
network too high, thus affecting the voltage stability.
8.2 Impact on power peaking and frequency
modulation
As the wind energy is unpredicted, the change in wind
power output is also at a considerable degree of unpredictability.
Meanwhile, the change of the wind power and change of the
network load are ofen opposite, that is, if the wind power is
reduced, the power load is ofen increased, especially in the
summer, when the air conditioning cooling load plays a
signifcant role in the grid. When the weather is abnormally hot,
the sea wind is ofen small, which further lead to increased heat,
therefore cause the continuously rising of cooling load.
As the Shanghai power grid is quite large and has enough
reserve capacity, it is generally no need to consider the
frequency stability problem which is caused by Donghai Bridge
wind farm. However, because its location is in the sea, its
possibility to hit by the typhoon is also larger than land-based
wind farm. Once the typhoon hit Shanghai, wind turbines may
stop in a very short time, so the grid will lost 100MW power
within a few minutes. It will cause a great impact on power grid
and may even lead to serious voltage collapse. Therefore, the
dispatcher must develop emergency plans and pay close
attention to weather conditions. Once the typhoon is
approaching, the dispatcher should not increase the power
output from the offshore wind farm. Conversely, they should
selectively shut down part of the wind turbines in order to
prevent sudden decrease of power, thereby affecting the power
grid stability.
9. Conclusions
The successful operation of Donghai Bridge ofhore
wind farm indicates that China's wind power development is
expanded from land to sea. In the future, the scale of ofshore
wind farm will be much larger, even to be compared to the size
of conventional power plant. In a network power supply system,
the offshore wind power could account for a large proportion.
Such network has put higher requirements on power dispatching.
The development of offshore wind power industry has a bright
future, and the wind power control technology is becoming hot
topic.
