Conductor selection of transmission line connected to wind farm considering the operation characteristic

A stochastic model of wind farm is built in the paper, and the influence of wind power on voltage and line power flow of distribution network is analyzed. Wind power branch and parallel branch are defined and simulated, in addition, the influence of wind farm on the transmission lines' power is analyzed. And the mathematical model of conductor type selection taking into account the grid and wind power station is built to solve the problem of the selection for conductor wire under the influence of wind power. Moreover, the general law of conductor type selection considering wind power of different capacities and different positions is revealed. Simulation results show that the method of conductor type selection is effective.
