Offshore wind farms consist of a number of wind turbine generators. A grid of cables interconnects the generators and brings the power to shore. Cable links that connect offshore wind farms to shore contribute to sustainable electricity distribution. The know-how for installing transmission cable interconnections is a valuable asset for the offshore wind industry.
It has been observed that a number of challenges have been faced by offshore wind industry for cable installation and maintenance, which is evident from the fact that ~70% of the insurance claims from offshore wind farm operations relate to cable damage. Hence, it is imperative to adapt the method which is not only advantageous for long transmission and connections but is also cost effective.
This report describes a good practice for the installation of offshore wind transmission cables. It provides an overview of the primary economic & technological drivers related to cable installation and global industry players. It also offers an evaluation of innovations that could assist in driving down the cost of the installation and maintenance of cables in offshore wind farm operations.

The maintenance cost of wind farms is one of the major factors influencing the prof- itability of wind projects. During preventive maintenance, the shutdown of wind turbines results in downtime wind energy losses. Appropriate determination of when to perform maintenance and which turbine(s) to maintain can reduce the overall downtime losses sig- nificantly. This paper uses a wind farm power generation model to evaluate downtime energy losses during preventive maintenance for a given group of wind turbines in the en- tire array. Wakes effects are taken into account to accurately estimate energy production over a specified time period. In addition to wind condition, the influence of wake effects is a critical factor in determining the selection of turbine(s) under maintenance. To min- imize the overall downtime loss of an offshore wind farm due to preventive maintenance, an optimal scheduling problem is formulated that selects the maintenance time of each turbine. Weather conditions are imposed as constraints to ensure the safety of mainte- nance personnel, transportation, and tooling infrastructure. A genetic algorithm is used to solve the optimal scheduling problem. The maintenance scheduling is optimized for a utility-scale offshore wind farm with 25 turbines. The optimized schedule not only reduces the overall downtime loss by selecting the maintenance dates when wind speed is low, but also considers the wake effects among turbines. Under given wind direction, the turbines under maintenance are usually the ones that can generate strong wake effects on others during certain wind conditions, or the ones that generate relatively less power being under excessive wake effects.
March 2012 - Michigan Energy Forum - Carmen BenderAnnArborSPARK
Wind farms are growing in many parts of Michigan as the price to generate electricity by turbines drops. Once the decision is made to move forward with wind, what happens next?
Join us as we discuss answers to the questions below:
· What are the steps followed to site a wind farm?
· How are the locations determined?
· How are the turbines selected?
· Who does the construction?
· How is financing handled?
· What are the long term maintenance issues?
Buried oil & gas pipelines are susceptible to accumulated strain, bending and
possible rupture effects from soil movements and other geohazards. For that, it is desired to have a means for real-time, on-line monitoring of critical sectors of pipeline network and get advance warning of over-stresses, bent or ruptured oil pipelines.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

3. Wind Farm
• A wind farm is a group of wind turbines
in the same location used to produce
electricity.
• A large wind farm may consist of several
hundred individual wind turbines and
cover an extended area of hundreds of
square miles, but the land between the
turbines may be used for agricultural or
other purposes.
• A wind farm can also be located
offshore.
• Picture shows onshore and offshore
construction of wind farm.

4. Wind Farm Design: Planning and Commissioning
Once a site has been identified and a decision taken to invest in its development,
the wind farm design process begins.
A first task is to define the constraints on the development:
1. Maximum installed capacity (due to grid connection etc.)
2. Site boundary
3. ‘ Set back’ – from roads, dwellings, overhead lines, and so on
4. Environmental constraints
5. Location of noise-sensitive dwellings and assessment criteria
6. Location of visually-sensitive viewpoints
7. Location of dwellings that may be affected by flickering shadows cast by rotating blades
8. Turbine minimum spacings, as defined by the turbine supplier
9. Constraints associated with communications signals.
4
5. Optimization of Energy Production
• Once the wind farm constraints are defined, the layout of the wind farm can be
optimized – also called wind farm ‘micro-siting’.
• For most projects, the economics are substantially more sensitive to changes in
energy production than infrastructure costs. It is therefore appropriate to use
energy production as the dominant design parameter.
• The detailed design of the wind farm is facilitated by the use of wind farm design
tools (WFDT). There are several commercially available, and others that are
research tools.
• Once an appropriate analysis of the wind regime at the site has been undertaken,
a model is set up that can be used to design the layout, predict the energy
production, and address environmental issues.
5
7. Visual Influence
• In many countries the visual influence of a wind farm
on the landscape is an important issue, especially in
regions with high population density. The use of
computational design tools allows the zone of visual
influence (ZVI), or visibility footprint, to be calculated.
• ‘Visual influence’ is the term used for the visibility of the wind turbines from the
surrounding area.
• In some surroundings, a regular area or straight line may be preferable
compared to an irregular layout.
7
8. Noise
• In densely populated countries, noise can sometimes be a limiting factor for the
capacity that can be installed on any particular site.
• Noise produced by operating turbines has been significantly reduced in recent
years by manufacturers, but is still a constraint.
• Turbine manufacturers may provide noise characteristic certificates.
• The internationally recognized standard typically referred to is ‘Wind turbine
generator systems: Acoustic noise measurement techniques’ (IEC 61400 Part 11
of 2003).
• The results are then compared with the acceptable levels, often defined in
national legislation.
• Turbine manufacturers could also provide a warranty for the noise produced by
the turbines.
8
9. Turbine Loads
• In order to ensure that the turbines are not being
used outside their design conditions, the minimum
acceptable turbine spacing should be obtained
from the turbine supplier and adhered to.
• This is strongly dependent on the nature of the
terrain and the wind rose for a site. If turbines are
spaced closer than five rotor diameters (5D) it is
likely that unacceptably high wake losses will
result.
• Separately from the issue of turbine spacing,
turbine loads are also affected by ‘natural’
turbulence caused by obstructions, topography,
surface roughness and thermal effects, as well as
extreme winds.
9
10. Infrastructure
• The wind farm infrastructure consists of civil works – such as roads and drainage,
wind turbine, met mast foundations and buildings housing electrical switchgear –
and electrical works such as equipment at the point of connection (POC),
underground cable networks and/or overhead lines forming radial ‘feeder’
circuits to strings of wind turbines, switchgear for protection and disconnection
of the feeder circuits, and transformers and switchgear associated with individual
turbines (although this is now commonly located within the turbine and is
supplied by the turbine supplier).
• The civil and electrical works, often referred to as the ‘balance of plant’ (BOP),
are often designed and installed by a contractor or contractors separate from the
turbine supplier.
• The turbine supplier usually provides the SCADA system.
10
11. Civil Works
• The foundations must be adequate to support the turbine under extreme loads.
Normally the design load condition for the foundations is the extreme ‘once in 50
years’ wind speed.
• A typical foundation will be perhaps 13 meters across, a hexagonal form and
might be 1–2 meters deep. It will be made from reinforced concrete. The
construction time can easily be less than a week.
• It is necessary to ensure that the roads, foundations and drainage do not affect
the hydrology.
• For upland sites, it is often beneficial to locate the control building and substation
in a sheltered location. This also reduces visual impact.
11
12. Electrical Works
• The turbines are interconnected by a medium voltage (MV) electrical network, in
the range 10–35 kV. In most cases this network consists of underground cables,
but in some locations and some countries overhead lines on wooden poles are
adopted. This is cheaper but creates greater visual influence. Overhead wooden
pole lines can also restrict the movement and use of cranes.
• It is necessary for each turbine to have a transformer to step up to medium
voltage, and associated switchgear. This equipment can be located outside the
base of each turbine, sometimes termed ‘Pad Mount transformers’.
• However, many turbines now include a transformer as part of the turbine supply.
In these cases the turbine terminal voltage will be medium tension and can
connect directly to the farm network.
12
Pad Mount transformers
14. SCADA & Instruments
• A vital element of the wind farm is the SCADA system. This system acts as a
‘Nerve Centre’ for the project. It connects the individual turbines, the substation
and meteorological stations to a central computer. This computer and the
associated communication system allow the operator to supervise the behavior
of all the wind turbines and also the wind farm as a whole.
• The SCADA system also has to implement any requirements in the connection
agreement to control reactive power production, to contribute to network
voltage or frequency control, or to limit power output in response to instructions
from the network operator.
• The SCADA computer communicates with the turbines via a communications
network, which almost always uses optical fibers. Often the fiber-optic cables are
installed by the electrical contractor, then tested and terminated by the SCADA
supplier.
14
SCADA system
Nerve Centre
15. Costs
• Wind farm costs are largely determined by two factors: the complexity of the site and
the likely extreme loads. The site may be considered complex if the ground conditions
are difficult – hard rock or very wet or boggy ground.
• A very windy site with high extreme loads will result in a more expensive civil
infrastructure as well as a higher specification for the turbines.
• The cost of the grid connection may also be important.
• Grid connection costs are affected by the distance to a suitable network connection
point, the voltage level of the existing network, and the network operator’s principles
for charging for connections and for the use of the electricity system.
15
16. Commissioning, Operation & Maintenance
• Once construction is complete, commissioning will begin. The definition of
‘Commissioning’ is not standardized, but generally covers all activities after all
components of the wind turbine are installed.
• Commissioning of an individual turbine can take more than two days with experienced
staff.
• Commissioning will usually involve standard tests for the electrical infrastructure as well
as the turbine, and inspection of routine civil engineering quality records.
• Careful testing at this stage is vital if a good quality wind farm is to be delivered and
maintained.
• After commissioning, the wind farm will be handed over to the operations and
maintenance crew. A typical crew will consist of two people for every 20 to 30 turbines in
a wind farm. 16
17. • For smaller wind farms there may not be a dedicated O&M crew but
arrangements will be made for regular visits from a regional team.
• Typical routine maintenance time for a modern wind turbine is 40 hours per year.
• The building permits obtained in order to allow the construction of the wind farm
may have some ongoing environmental reporting requirements, for example the
monitoring of noise, avian activity, or other flora or fauna issues.
• Therefore, in addition to the obvious operations and maintenance activity, there
is often a management role to perform in parallel.
17
18. Tests include in Commissioning of Wind Farm
WIND TURBINE GENERATOR (WTG) TEST:
• Site Acceptance Tests (SAT)
• Commissioning Tests (CT)
The Commissioning Test includes the following:
• 6 hour test run with the generator connected to the grid.
• Demonstration of WTG vibration level below acceptable level.
• Test of trip function when WTG is generating and grid loss occurs.
• Test of over speed trip of each WTG.
• Test of yaw drives.
• Test of Power Measurement System.
• Verification of settings for electrical protection relays .
